Studies

Green nanoarchitectonics of carbon quantum dots from Cinchona Pubescens Vahl as targeted and controlled drug cancer nanocarrier.

Summary

Researchers evaluated fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as drug carriers for carboplatin delivery. CQDs can carry a high amount of carboplatin and have low cytotoxicity, making them promising for cancer treatment.
