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 ...
