AI Article Synopsis
- Biocompatible graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are derived from neem root extracts and are effective for advanced imaging techniques like structured illumination microscopy and two-photon microscopy (TPM).
- TPM and confocal luminescence microscopy results show that GQDs target lysosomes specifically in live cells.
- GQDs also demonstrate tissue-dependent localization when used in zebrafish models, enhancing their potential applications in biological imaging.
Article Abstract
Biocompatible graphene quantum dots (GQDs), obtained from extracts of neem root, are found to be suitable for structured illumination microscopy and two-photon microscopy (TPM). Results of TPM and confocal luminescence microscopy ensure lysosome specificity in live cells and tissue-dependent localization in zebrafish, respectively, of GQDs.
