Fluorescent nanocrystals reveal regulated portals of entry into and between the cells of Hydra.
Initially viewed as innovative carriers for biomedical applications, with unique photophysical properties and great versatility to be decorated at their surface with suitable molecules, nanoparticles can also play active roles in mediating biological effects, suggesting the need to deeply investigat...
