Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in subcellular distribution and toxicity of green and red emitting CdTe quantum dots

TL;DR: It is suggested that the size of QDs contributes to their subcellular distribution and that drugs can alter QD-induced cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Phase Diagrams: Fifty Years of Research.

TL;DR: The reported phase diagrams of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) are surveyed, the differences and comment on theoretical ideas regarding their possible origins are discussed, and open questions in this reputably mature domain are alerted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unmodified Cadmium Telluride Quantum Dots Induce Reactive Oxygen Species Formation Leading to Multiple Organelle Damage and Cell Death

TL;DR: It is shown that "naked" QDs induce damage to the plasma membrane, mitochondrion, and nucleus, leading to cell death, suggesting the critical role of several subcellular compartments in QD-induced cytotoxicity and point toward multiple molecular targets in nonclassical apoptosis.
Book ChapterDOI

Non-ionic Thermoresponsive Polymers in Water

TL;DR: A systematic compilation of the polymers reported to exhibit thermoresponsive behavior is presented in this article, including N-substituted poly((meth)acrylamide)s, poly(N-vinylamide), poly(oxazoline), polymers based on amphiphilic balance, and elastin-like synthetic polymers.
