Dual-functional carbon dots were synthesized for bio-imaging and photodynamic therapy; HFn(DOX)/CDs were used for simultaneous imaging and chemo-photodynamic therapy.
Dual functionalized natural biomass carbon dots from lychee exocarp were fabricated for cancer cell targetable near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy.
Graphical AbstractBrief description of the procedures carried out in this study. In vivo and in vitro antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) studies, where aPDT mediated by C-DOTS and blue LED light against S. aureus was evaluated.
Photodynamic therapy, as an effective treatment for superficial tumors, has attracted more and more attention. The development of safe, biocompatible and in vivo photosensitive materials is helpful to promote photodynamic...
The development of a simple and straightforward strategy to synthesize multifunctional carbon dots for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been an emerging focus.
