| Abstract: | Background Neuroblastoma, a frequently occurring solid tumour in children, remains a therapeutic challenge as existing imaging tools
are inadequate for proper and accurate diagnosis, resulting in treatment failures. Nanoparticles have recently been introduced
to the field of cancer research and promise remarkable improvements in diagnostics, targeting and drug delivery. Among these
nanoparticles, quantum dots (QDs) are highly appealing due to their manipulatable surfaces, yielding multifunctional QDs applicable
in different biological models. The biocompatibility of these QDs, however, remains questionable. |
