Divergent Responses of Hydrophilic CdSe and CdSe@CdS Core-Shell Nanocrystals in Apoptosis and In Vitro Cancer Cell Imaging: A Comparative Analysis.

With their distinctive core-shell design, core-shell nanocrystals have drawn interest in catalysis, medicinal research, and nanotechnology. These nanocrystals have a variety of characteristics and possible uses. The application of core-shell nanocrystals offers significant potential in increasing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for cancer research in apoptosis and in vitro cancer cell imaging.

Bioaccumulation of CdSe Quantum Dots Show Biochemical and Oxidative Damage in Wistar Rats.

Cadmium selenium quantum dots (CdSe QDs) with modified surfaces exhibit superior dispersion stability and high fluorescence yield, making them desirable biological probes. The knowledge of cellular and biochemical toxicity has been lacking, and there is little information on the correlation between and data. The current study was carried out to assess the toxicity of CdSe QDs after intravenous injection in Wistar male rats (230 g).

Eco-friendly synthesis of CuInS and CuInS@ZnS quantum dots and their effect on enzyme activity of lysozyme.

We report on the green and facile aqueous microwave synthesis of glutathione (GSH) stabilized luminescent CuInS (CIS, size = 2.9 nm) and CuInS@ZnS core-shell (CIS@ZnS, size = 3.5 nm) quantum dots (QDs).
