  • Semiconductor nanocrystal-based phagokinetic tracking
    Patent number: 8889414
    Abstract: Methods for determining metabolic properties of living cells through the uptake of semiconductor nanocrystals by cells. Generally the methods require a layer of neutral or hydrophilic semiconductor nanocrystals and a layer of cells seeded onto a culture surface and changes in the layer of semiconductor nanocrystals are detected. The observed changes made to the layer of semiconductor nanocrystals can be correlated to such metabolic properties as metastatic potential, cell motility or migration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2014
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: A. Paul Alivisatos, Carolyn A. Larabell, Wolfgang J. Parak, Mark Le Gros, Rosanne Boudreau
