Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have emerged to be promising optical materials because of their exceptional optical properties. Nevertheless, owing to the instability in the humid environment, their bio-related applications, such...
PSA was conjugated onto IONP by first covalently linking Neu onto a 10 nm IONP core and then attaching PSA to neu via biotin–avidin interaction. When applied in vivo, IONP-Neu-PSA-Cy5.5 produced persistent near-IR signal specifically for monitoring tumor apoptosis.
