Nanoparticle Probes for Ultrasensitive Biological Detection and Motor Protein Tracking inside Living Cells
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a new class of fluorescent probes and labeling agents for biological samples. QDs are bright, highly photostable and allow simultaneous excitation of multiple emissions. Owing to these properties, QDs hold exceptional promise in enabling intracellular...
