“…Carbon quantum dots have shown exceptional potential as contrast agents in bioimaging applications [45]. Their tunable photoluminescence enables them to emit fluorescence in different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, making them suitable for multiplexed imaging and real-time tracking of biological processes [46][47][48]. CQDs have been used in fluorescence microscopy, confocal imaging, and in vivo imaging, providing valuable insight into cellular dynamics and interactions [22,49].…”

Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and carbon 2D nanosheets (graphene, graphene oxide, and graphdiyne), have shown remarkable potential in various biological applications. CQDs offer tunable photoluminescence and excellent biocompatibility, making them suitable for bioimaging, drug delivery, biosensing, and photodynamic therapy. Additionally, CQDs’ unique properties enable bioimaging-guided therapy and targeted imaging of biomolecules. On the other hand, carbon 2D nanosheets exhibit exceptional physicochemical attributes, with graphene excelling in biosensing and bioimaging, also in drug delivery and antimicrobial applications, and graphdiyne in tissue engineering. Their properties, such as tunable porosity and high surface area, contribute to controlled drug release and enhanced tissue regeneration. However, challenges, including long-term biocompatibility and large-scale synthesis, necessitate further research. Potential future directions encompass theranostics, immunomodulation, neural interfaces, bioelectronic medicine, and expanding bioimaging capabilities. In summary, both CQDs and carbon 2D nanosheets hold promise to revolutionize biomedical sciences, offering innovative solutions and improved therapies in diverse biological contexts. Addressing current challenges will unlock their full potential and can shape the future of medicine and biotechnology.

“…6,7 Parvin et al developed a nontoxic nanoparticle coated with carbon to kill mosquito larvae after a long period of stagnation in the larval stage. 8 As mosquito larvae (also known as worms) hang upside down below the surface of water and breathe at the surface with the end of their tails, the release of insecticides at the surface of water is an effective means of mosquito extermination. However, few studies have described a way to control mosquitoes based on the behaviour of the larvae.…”
