Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) illuminate a new frontier in biomedicine with their fluorescence-driven multifunctionality and biocompatibility. This review highlights CQDs as potent tools for targeting cancer cells, delivering drugs, combating pathogens, and generating reactive oxygen species for advanced therapies like photodynamic and photothermal treatment. These nanomaterials promise breakthroughs in imaging, diagnostics, and personalized medicine, overcoming biomedical challenges through innovative design (e707).
