Uptake of carbon nanodots into human AML cells in comparison to primary hematopoietic cells

Abstract

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) comprise a class of next generation nanomaterials with a wide variety of potential applications.

The role of molecular fluorophores in the photoluminescence of carbon dots derived from citric acid: current state-of-the-art and future perspectives

“…40 This discovery led to many applications based on green emitting carbon dots containing HPPT on their surface. 15,20,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81] Recently, the above-mentioned 2-pyridone-based fluorophores have played an important role in the explanation of the fluorescence properties of numerous bottom-up synthesized CDs prepared from CA as a precursor, which will be further elaborated in the next sections. At this point, it is important to note the synergistic effect of the development of the CD field on the evolution of CA-based fluorescent dyes and their applications.…”

Identification of nanoparticles as vesicular cargo via Airy scanning fluorescence microscopy and spatial statistics

“…Their intracellular storage in different target organelles depends on the composition, surface functional groups and periphery of the particle. 30 While several groups have identified the vesicles of the endolysosomal system as primary location, 31,32 they appear to be stored in the Golgi apparatus, 33 mitochondria 34 or in the nuclei 35 in other experiments. We have designed a study of the colocalization of CNDs with lysosomes.…”
