Recent advances on fluorescent biomarkers of near-infrared quantum dots for in vitro and in vivo imaging

Luminescence probe has been broadly used for bio-imaging applications. Among them, near-infrared (NIR) quantum dots (QDs) are more attractive due to minimal tissue absorbance and larger penetration depth. Above said reasons allowed whole animal imaging without slice scan or dissection. This review d...
