Abstract excerpt
The excellent optical property and relatively low toxicity of CdTe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) make them an advanced fluorescent probe in the application of biomedicines, particularly in neuroscience. Thus, it is important to evaluate the biosafety of CdTe/ZnS QDs on the central nervous system (CNS). Our previous studies have suggested that the high possibility of CdTe/ZnS QDs being transported into the...
