摘要
Cancer is a serious threat to human health.Survival rates of cancer patients are highly dependent on the early diagnosis and treatment.Carbon nanodots(CDs),a rising star of carbon nanomaterial family,can be developed as a promising terrace for cell labeling,bioimaging,drug delivery,diagnosis,and therapy by virtue of many superior properties including unique photo-luminescence properties,low toxicity,excellent biocompatibility,and easy functionalization.In this mini review,we present the recent progress in fundamental properties of CDs,and highlight their bioapplications in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
