In vivo toxicity of quantum dots: no cause for concern?

Semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), possess unique optical properties that make them useful as fluorescent probes or traceable nanocarriers for in vivo applications ranging from imaging to theranostics. The surfaces of QDs can be conjugated with biomolecules to enable...
