Nanoblade delivery and incorporation of quantum dot conjugates into tubulin networks in live cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum dots (QDs) have not been used to label cytoskeleton structure of live cells owing to limitations in delivery strategies, and QDs conjugation methods and issues with nonspecific binding. We conjugated tubulin to QDs and applied the emerging method of photothermal nanoblade to deliver QD-tubulin conjugates into live Hela cells. This method will open new opportunities for cytosolic targeting of QDs in live cells.

Delivery and visualization of proteins conjugated to quantum dots in cardiac myocytes.
The design of a novel transduction complex has permitted the introduction of protein-quantum dot conjugates into the cytoplasm of living cells. Appropriate subcellular localization of quantum dot-conjugated cardiac troponin C to the myofibrils and a nuclear peptide to the nucleus was attained in living cardiac myocytes using this approach. This new methodology opens the possibility for live tra...

As a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. Then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...
متن کاملSILAR Sensitization as an Effective Method for Making Efficient Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
CdSe quantum dots were in situ deposited on various structures of TiO2 photoanode by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Various sensitized TiO2 structures were integrated as a photoanode in order to make quantum dot sensitized solar cells. High power conversion efficiency was obtained; 2.89 % (Voc=524 mV, Jsc=9.78 mA/cm2, FF=0.56) for the cells that sensitized by SILAR meth...
متن کاملIntroducing nanostructure patterns for performance enhancement in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells
With attention to the thin film structure of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, in this paper in order to improvement of active layer absorption of them, we have proposed the use of nanostructure pattern for enhancement of their performance. For this purpose we have presented suitable nano hemisphare patterns in colloidal quantum dot solar cells for light trapping in absorption layer. Then with...
متن کاملOptimization of Thermalisation Loss in the Quantum Dot Solar Cells using a Finite Element Method
As thermalisation loss is the dominant loss process in the quantum dot intermediate band solar cells (QD-IBSCs), it has been investigated and calculated for a QD-IBSC, where IB is created by embedding a stack of InAs(1-x) Nx QDs with a square pyramid shape in the intrinsic layer of the AlPySb(1-y) p-i-n structure. IB, which is an optically coupled but electrically isolated mini-band, divides th...
