Designing a Matrix Metalloproteinase-7-activated Quantum Dot Nanobeacon for Cancer Detection Imaging

Quantum Dot (QD) nanobeacons distinguish themselves from molecular beacons with the promise of non-linear activation, tunability, and multi-functionality. These unique features make them highly attractive for cancer detection imaging with opportunities for increased signal-to-background ratio and t...
