Journal of Materials Chemistry B, https://doi.org/10.1039/d4tb01334d

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting inorganic nanocrystals, that have garnered interest in biological and medical spheres due, to their potential benefits in biomedical imaging and drug-delivery systems. Indium phosphide QDs shelled with zinc sulph... Read More about PEGylation of indium phosphide quantum dots prevents quantum dot mediated platelet activation.

Quantum Dot Imaging Agents: Haematopoietic Cell Interactions and Biocompatibility (2024)
Journal Article
Naylor-Adamson, L., Price, T. W., Booth, Z., Stasiuk, G. J., & Calaminus, S. D. (2024). Quantum Dot Imaging Agents: Haematopoietic Cell Interactions and Biocompatibility. Cells, 13(4), Article 354. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells13040354

Quantum dots (QDs) are semi-conducting nanoparticles that have been developed for a range of biological and non-biological functions. They can be tuned to multiple different emission wavelengths and can have significant benefits over other fluorescen...

Is the PEGylation of indium phosphide/zinc sulphide quantum dots the first step in creating a platelet biocompatible multimodal imaging agent? (2024)
Thesis
Booth, Z. Is the PEGylation of indium phosphide/zinc sulphide quantum dots the first step in creating a platelet biocompatible multimodal imaging agent?. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4790560

Background:
Indium phosphide/zinc sulphide (InP/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductive nanoparticles that have received growing focus due to the perception that they are safer than heavy metal based QDs. InP/ZnS QDs possess a highly fluorescent...
