Moreover, in comparison with internalization of larger MPIOs or SPION complex, cellular surface binding of the biodegradable nanoparticles used in our study would be more favorable for in vivo cellular imaging as the intact biological behavior of cells could be less likely affected.
QDs will become the most promising fluorescent markers; for example, QDs show great potential for cell imaging, fluorescence immunoassay, etc. Especially, QDs have made great progress in the cellular imaging in recent years, showing far more advantages than the traditional organic dyes.
It is more suitable to use it in biological applications such as cellular imaging.
These observations confirm their potential applications in cellular imaging.
Their bright photoluminescence means they can be used for cellular imaging.
In cellular imaging, several nontoxic variants of phototoxic fluorescent proteins were successfully developed for cellular labeling and imaging in vivo [44 46].
For cellular imaging experiment, stem cells (RADMSC) and cancer cells (HeLa) were used.
Since then, GFP has revolutionized cell biology and cellular imaging [73].
On their own they are also used for the applications in cellular imaging.
These multi-functional materials are of particular importance as probes and biological labels for cellular imaging.
