This article gives an overview of the various kinds of nanoparticles (NPs) that are widely
used for purposes of fluorescent imaging, mainly of cells and tissues. Following an …

We review the synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals/colloidal quantum dots in organic
solvents with special emphasis on earth-abundant and toxic heavy metal free compounds …

This review summarizes recent progress in the design and applications of cadmium-free
quantum dots (Cd-free QDs), with an emphasis on their role in biophotonics and …

The understanding of biological systems at the molecular scale is increasingly reliant on the
capability of tracking miscellaneous biomolecules and their events with improved spatial …

The quest for nanoscaling has extended beyond traditional metal oxides (1-4) and metal
(0),(5) as exemplified by the huge development of “quantum dots” chalcogenide …

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs, ie, crystalline nanoparticles) have become an important class
of materials with great potential for applications ranging from medicine to electronic and …

The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

Fluorescence imaging has gathered interest over the recent years for its real-time response
and high sensitivity. Developing probes for this modality has proven to be a challenge …

Smart theranostics are dynamic platforms that integrate multiple functions, including at least
imaging, therapy, and responsiveness, in a single agent. This review showcases a variety of …

Over the last twenty-five years 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid
(DOTA) has made a significant impact on the field of diagnostic imaging. DOTA is not the …
