“…Moreover, the major inhibition was reported in all cancer cell lines in the synarchism with doxorubicin. Therefore, they concluded that CDs could be an alternative and complementary medicine for cancer therapy243 .The combination of biocompatibility of CDs and the wide variety of surface functionalization pathways has unlocked new gateways for gene delivery applications. Passivation of Liu et al has used a positively charged polymer, polyethyleneimine (PEI), as the starting material for preparing a PCD-based gene delivery platform76 .…”

Cancer is a global concern and a major cause of early deaths as well as poor lifestyles. One of the prime research areas of cancer includes nanotechnology and its applications. Many nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, nanoshells, nanorod arrays, polymer dots, quantum dots, etc have been highlighted owing to their excellent characteristics aiding in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. In this paper, the authors aim to highlight the application of one of such nanostructures, i.e, Carbon quantum dots (CQDs). These nanoparticles have seen widespread application in cancer due to their special optical characteristics, high quantum yield as well as good electrical properties. They also possess excellent photostability. The past few decades have seen their application in diagnostic devices, assays, biosensors, bioimaging, drug delivery, and other therapeutic applications as well. The review summarizes its remarkable characteristics and recent trends in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. The outcome of our literature review highlights that CQDs are able to detect specific types of cancer and differentiate between normal and malignant cells, hence, making cancer diagnosis more efficient. Similarly, in cancer therapy, the excellent photoluminescence property of CQDs has been well exploited in drug delivery.

“…Besides that, graphene - iron oxide composite demonstrated the synergistic antibacterial effect of local heating on the culture of metacycline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [ 17 ]. The authors [ 18 ], based on the literature data and the large-scale results of their own studies, put forward a hypothesis about the possible use of carbon dots as monotherapy or combination therapy for patients with malignant neoplasms.…”
