Cancer Cell Targeting With Functionalized Quantum Dot-Encoded Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules
Imaging agents and drug carriers are commonly targeted toward cancer cell through functionalization with specific recognition molecules. Quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals whose extraordinary brightness and photostability make them attractive for direct fluorescent labelin...
