pH-responsive DNA capsules release QD loads

By Belle Dumé August 29, 2016

Researchers at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel have fabricated DNA microcapsules loaded with semiconducting quantum dots. The capsules are sensitive to pH and release their QD load at pHs of above 7. They might be used as chemotherapeutic drug carriers to treat cancer cells, which are acidic.
