Carbon Dots: Next-generation Materials for Biomedical Applications

Product Description

This research and reference text will present the latest research on carbon dots and their
applications in the biomedical field, including therapeutics, bio-imaging and diagnosis. It
will be the first book dedicated to the biomedical applications of carbon dots.
The key topics covered will include the use of carbon dots in therapeutic applications,
applications in drug and gene delivery, uses in bio-imaging and uses in the fabrication of
biosensors and nanobiosensors. The coverage of therapeutics will include the varied role
of carbon dots in anti-inflammation, delivery of drugs and genes, anti-pathogenicity, tissue
engineering and cancer therapies.
