Quantum Sensing for Detection of Zinc-Triggered Free Radicals in Endothelial Cells

Adv Quantum Technol. (2023)

The study investigates the detection of zinc-triggered free radicals in endothelial cells using quantum sensing techniques. It focuses on how different concentrations of zinc affect cell morphology, proliferation, and the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The research employs relaxometry with fluorescent nanodiamonds to measure free radical production in real-time, highlighting the potential of this method in assessing the biological impacts of zinc ions. This approach offers insights into the cellular responses to zinc, contributing to understanding its role in oxidative stress and cellular damage.
