Fluorescent Nanocarbons: From Synthesis and Structure to Cancer Imaging and Therapy (Adv. Mater. 19/2024)

Cancer Imaging Cancer, the primary global cause of death, necessitates early detection and effective therapy. Utilizing fluorescent nanocarbons has emerged as a promising approach for tumor imaging and treatment. In article 2312474, Elena P. Ivanova and Suresh K. Bhargava, alongside their team offer a comprehensive analysis of cellular toxicity management and the strategic use of nanocarbons for cancer diagnostics and therapy. This pioneering research serves as a beacon for scholars from diverse disciplines—biology, chemistry, physics, oncology, and engineering—providing a roadmap for exploring groundbreaking concepts. With artistry envisioned by Mehran Ghasemlou and brought to life by the talented team at Inmywork Studio, this endeavor signals a transformative stride towards the creation of next-generation multifunctional nanocarbon materials.
