title: PEGylated liposome coated QDs/mesoporous silica core-shell nanoparticles for molecular imaging.
abstract: This paper describes the synthesis and application of PEGylated liposome-coated quantum dots (QDs)/mesoporous silica core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) for molecular imaging. This system increases biocompatibility and stability of QDs, thus improving the imaging effects in labeling of cancer cells.
