Abstract

Quantum Dots (QDs) and Nanorods (NRs) have found a vast array of applications in optoelectronics and bio-labeling. Incorporation of such NPs into the cell membrane holds great potential for many novel applications ranging from single molecule membrane potential sensors and actuators, to light harvesting, therapeutics and diagnostics. However, research aimed at deciphering the underlying design rules, which would allow for robust delivery, targeting, insertion and retention in the membrane for long durations is in its early stages.
