Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Dot Bioconjugates for Ultrasensitive Nonisotopic Detection

TL;DR: Highly luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (zinc sulfide-capped cadmium selenide) have been covalently coupled to biomolecules for use in ultrasensitive biological detection and these nanometer-sized conjugates are water-soluble and biocompatible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determining the size and shape dependence of gold nanoparticle uptake into mammalian cells.

TL;DR: The intracellular uptake of different sized and shaped colloidal gold nanoparticles is investigated and it is shown that kinetics and saturation concentrations are highly dependent upon the physical dimensions of the nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of nanoparticle delivery to tumours

TL;DR: This Perspective explores and explains the fundamental dogma of nanoparticle delivery to tumours and answers two central questions: ‘ how many nanoparticles accumulate in a tumour?’ and ‘how does this number affect the clinical translation of nanomedicines?'
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.

TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of nanoparticle size, shape, and surface chemistry on biological systems.

TL;DR: The rationales for these studies, the current progress in studies of the interactions of nanomaterials with biological systems, and a perspective on the long-term implications of these findings are provided.
