The use of quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent labels in bioimaging is a promising approach to bioimaging tool development. The potential toxicity of QDs makes their applicability as fluorescent labels in vivo questionable. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of polyelectrolyte microcapsules encoded with semiconductor nanocrystals has been investigated.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Keywords: </span>Polyelectrolyte microcapsules, semiconductor nanocrystals, cytotoxicity, theranostic agents.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={KnE Energy}, author={Nifontova, G O and Baryshnikova, M B and Bozrova, S V and Sokolova, Z A and Nabiev, I R and Sukhanova, A V}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={299–304} }
