| Abstract | We examined the in vivo quantum dots (QDs) neurotoxicity and the underlying mechanism using Caenorhabditis elegans D-type GABAergic motor neurons as the assay system. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of CdTe QDs caused damage on both the development and function of D-type motor neurons, and resulted in translocation of CdTe QDs into D-type motor neurons. In addition to oxidative stress, cell identity was also involved in the induction of the toxicity of QDs on D-type motor neurons. ZnS surface coating blocked CdTe QDs translocation and maintained cell identity, thereby suppressing CdTe QDs neurotoxicity. For the underlying mechanism, we hypothesized that both translocation into the targeted neurons and alterations in the development and function of those targeted neurons contribute to the induction of CdTe QDs neurotoxicity. Considering the conserved property of GABAergic neurons during evolution, our data will shed light on our understanding of the potential risks of QDs to the nervous systems of animals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
