Single quantum dot tracking reveals the impact of nanoparticle surface on intracellular state
Quantum dots (QDs) mimic delivery agents for drugs and analytic compounds, but which route do they take inside cells? Here, the authors developed a technique to follow QDs, and they show that zwitterionic nanoparticle surface coatings make for the best delivery vehicle.
