Carbon quantum dots (CDs) are “small” carbon nanostructures with excellent photoluminescence properties, together low-toxicity, high biocompatibility, dispersibility in water as well organic solvents. Due to their characteristics, CDs have been studied for a plethora of applications biosensors, luminescent probes photodynamic and photothermal therapy, fluorescent inks many more. Moreover, the p...

Currently cancer treatment is in large part non-specific with respect to treatment. Medication is often harsh on patients, whereby they suffer several undesired side effects as a result. Carbon-based nanoparticles have attracted attention in recent years due to their ability to act as a platform for the attachment of several drugs and/or ligands. Relatively simple models are often used in cance...
