Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea: Just Like Pfizer’s Covid Injection, Quantum Dots in Long-acting Insulin are Assembling “Rubbery Blood Clots” Made of Hydrogel
Rhoda Wilson Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea has been analysing long-acting insulin and what she has found is shocking. One of her patients recently suffered from congestive heart failure and now he is wondering if the insulin he injects himself to treat his diabetes has caused it. Image: Mykenzie Johnson @ Unsplash
Biocompatible Near-infrared Quantum Dots Delivered to the Skin by Microneedle Patches Record Vaccination
Kevin J. McHugh et al. Accurate medical recordkeeping is a major challenge in many low-resource settings where well- maintained centralized databases do not exist, contributing to 1.5 million vaccine-preventable deaths annually. Here, we present an approach to encode medical history on a patient using the spatial distribution of biocompatible, near-infrared quantum dots (NIR QDs) in […]
Bioluminescent Quantum Dots
David Evanko Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bio- luminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores into a new class of bioluminescent probe. … When injected into mice, these bioluminescent quantum dot conjugates produced good signals with no background after injection […]
