Effects of Graphene Quantum Dots on the Osteogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells from Human Endometrial

Background and aim: Cell-therapy is an important science because of using to treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Recent studies in this field suggest that human endometrial derived stem cells can be a great source. On the other hand, graphene and its derivatives, mainly graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have recently attracted much attention as effective factors in differentiating stem cells t...

Comparative Studies of High Contrast Fluorescence Imaging Efficiency of Silica-coated CdSe Quantum Dots with Green and Red Emission

Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...

Somatostatin Decorated Quantum Dots Nanoparticles for Targeting of Somatostatin Receptors

Due to the unique optical properties like high brightness and narrow emission bands of Quantum dots, it is used as simple fluorescence materials in bio-imaging, immunoassays, microarrays, and other applications. To easy invistigate cell lines that overexpressed somtostatin receptors, somatostatin (SST) was conjugated with Quantum dots carrying PEG amine (Qdots-PEG-NH2). The conjugation of SST t...
