研究目的
Investigating the cytotoxicity of quantum dots (QDs) and their potential for biomedical applications, focusing on the challenges posed by their toxicity and the exploration of solutions to mitigate these effects.
研究成果
The review concludes that while QDs hold great promise for biomedical applications, their cytotoxicity remains a significant challenge. It emphasizes the need for further research to understand the mechanisms of toxicity and to develop safer QD formulations through surface modifications and other strategies.
研究不足
The review highlights the complexity of QD toxicity, which depends on multiple factors such as core-shell materials, size, surface charge, and environmental conditions. It notes the difficulty in generalizing toxicity due to the diverse nature of QD systems and the need for more standardized testing methods.
