Recent advances with liposomes as pharmaceutical carriers.
TL;DR: For further successful development of this field, promising trends must be identified and exploited, albeit with a clear understanding of the limitations of these approaches.
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.
