Abstract:Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important biomarker for cancers and chronic inflammation-associated diseases. While PGE2 plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response, chronically elevated PGE2 levels may contribute to disease onset and oxidative stress. Herein, hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPbCD)-functionalized MoO 3 quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized with a hydrophilic exterior and hydrophobic core. The QDs were characterized for their physicochemical, bioimaging, and biocompatible nature. The QDs exhibi… Show more
