    Discriminative eradication of cancer cells using quantum dots functionalised with peptide-directed delivery of a pro-apoptotic peptide 

    Swartz, Lauren Taryn (2013)
    The therapeutic goal of cancer treatment is to trigger selective cell death in cancer cells. To eliminate cancerous cells effectively, the anti–cancer drugs must be targeted to the affected cells. However, anti–cancer drugs ...
