Editor's Notes
Polystyrene nanoparticle labeled with fluorescent DNA -> maestro imaging machineGreen fluorescenceDNA attached to the nanoparticles (biotin/streptavidin conjugate) can recognize specific cell receptor on cancer cells This allows the nanoparticles to attach to the cellImaging a samples of the cells can allow one to look at the fluorescent label on the cells
