Designing Superoxide-Generating Quantum Dots for Selective Light-Activated Nanotherapy

Designing Superoxide-Generating Quantum Dots for Selective Light-Activated Nanotherapy

The rapid emergence of superbugs, or multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms, has prompted a search for novel antibiotics, beyond traditional small-molecule therapies. Nanotherapeutics are being investigated as alternatives, and recently superoxide-generating quantum dots (QDs) have been shown as impor...
