Urine accumulation of CDs-ZW800 after different routes of injection. (A) The mice were kept under isoflurane anesthesia, the bladder was exposed, and NIR images were acquired at the indicated time points before and after (top) IV injection, (middle) SC injection, and (bottom) IM injection; (B) Quantification of the ZW800 fluorescence signal in (A); (C) Representative coronal images from 1 h dynamic PET imaging of 64Cu-CDs after three routes of injection: left, IV injection; middle, SC injection; right, IM injection; (D) Urinary bladder ROI analysis of the PET images in (C) [121]

(a) Confocal images of wild-type zebrafish showing the injection route, heart, blood stream, CNS and observation area (central canal of spinal cord); (b) Accumulation of GluCDs-F in the CNS of zebrafish. The yellow arrow indicates the central canal of spinal cord of zebrafish [124]

Apoptosis analysis. The L929 cells and the ACC-2 cells were incubated with PBS, CDs (200 μg/mL), free DOX and CDs-DOX (at the same DOX concentration, 1.5 μM) for 48 h. Then the cells were stained by PI and Annexin V-FITC, flowed by flow cytometry (125)
