New Quantum Dots Improve Cell Imaging

A team of scientists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Mayo Clinic have designed a unique type of molecular probe that can measure and count RNA in cells and tissue without organic dyes. The probe is based on the conventional fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method, but it depends on compact quantum dots to illuminate molecules and diseased cells instead of fluorescent dyes.
