The term “zwitterionic polymers” refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged
groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally …

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) offer a myriad of opportunities for bioanalytical
applications, well beyond those of their down-converting counterparts (QDs, organic dyes …

Targeting subcellular organelle with multilevel damage has shown great promise for
antitumor therapy. Here, we report a core-shell type of nanoagent with iron (III) carboxylate …

The successful growth of colloidal lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) has
generated tremendous interest in the community, due to the unique properties and the …

In the last few years, zwitterionic polymers have been developed as antifouling surface
coatings. However, their ability to completely suppress protein adsorption at the surface of …

In this work, a new kind of N, Cu codoped carbon dots (N/Cu-CDs) was prepared via a facile
one-pot hydrothermal method by using citric acid monohydrate, copper acetate …

Oral delivery of protein drugs based on nanoparticulate delivery system requires permeation
of the nanoparticles through the mucus layer and subsequent absorption via epithelial cells …

A simple ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric dual-signal sensing system for Cu 2+ and
pyrophosphate ion (PPi) detection is established based on N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) …

We detail the assembly and characterization of quantum dot (QD)− dye conjugates
constructed using a peptide bridge specifically designed to recognize and interact with a …

Oral delivery of protein or peptide drugs confronts several barriers, the intestinal epithelium
and the mucus barrier on the gastrointestinal tract is deemed to be the toughest obstacles …
