AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers showed that 2D MoS2 improves the ability of a specific ligand to target receptors and be imaged effectively.
  • Compared to graphene oxide, 2D MoS2 has a better working concentration range, making it more efficient for imaging purposes.
  • This advancement allows for clearer imaging of both cell and tissue samples, which could be beneficial for various biological applications.

Article Abstract

Here we demonstrate that 2D MoS2 can enhance the receptor-targeting and imaging ability of a fluorophore-labelled ligand. The 2D MoS2 has an enhanced working concentration range when compared with graphene oxide, resulting in the improved imaging of both cell and tissue samples.
