Effects of long-term exposure of gelatinated and non-gelatinated cadmium telluride quantum dots on differentiated PC12 cells
Prasad, Babu R.; Mullins, Gillian; Nikolskaya, Natalia; Connolly, David; Smith, Terry; Rochev, Yury (BioMed Central, 2012-01-20)Background: The inherent toxicity of unmodified Quantum Dots (QDs) is a major hindrance to their use in biological applications. To make them more potent as neuroprosthetic and neurotherapeutic agents, thioglycolic acid ... -
Long-term exposure of CdTe quantum dots on PC12 cellular activity and the determination of optimum non-toxic concentrations for biological use
Prasad, Babu R.; Nikolskaya, Natalia; Connolly, David; Smith, Terry; Rochev, Yury (2010)Background: The unique and tuneable photonic properties of Quantum Dots (QDs) have made them potentially useful tools for imaging biological entities. However, QDs though attractive diagnostic and therapeutic tools, have ... -
Thermosensitive hydrogel for prolonged delivery of lentiviral vector expressing neurotrophin-3 in vitro
McMahon, Siobhan; Nikolskaya, Natalia; Ní Choileain, Siobhan; Hennessy, Niamh; O'Brien, Timothy; Rochev, Yury (Wiley, 2011-11-01)Background The development of tissue engineering scaffolds for gene delivery has the potential to enhance gene transfer efficiency and safety via controlled temporal and spatial delivery. Lentiviral delivery can be carried ...
