Intravitreal Silicon-based Quantum dots as neuroprotective factors in a model of retinal photoreceptor degeneration.
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 07/05/2012
Olson JL et al. – Intravitreal injection of silicon–based Quantum Dots seems to be safe and well tolerated, with no evident toxic reaction and demonstrates a beneficial effect by prolonging cell survival rate and improving electroretinogram patterns in a well established model of retinal degeneration.
