Silver Selenide Quantum Dots: A Double-Edged Sword for the Brain

Silver selenide quantum dots, or Ag2Se QDs, are tiny particles with amazing optical properties. They're great for imaging tumors, but their small size lets them sneak past the brain's protective barrier. This raises concerns about potential harm to the central nervous system. To tackle this issue, s
