Description
Carbon dots (CDs) have gained significant attention from researchers due to their unique properties, which make them a promising option among nanomaterials for biomedical use. From recent trends, it is confirmed that CDs are the best candidates available among nanomaterials for the treatment of various diseases, including Ulcer, Diabetes, Gout, Wound healing and other syndromes. Semiconductor dots, which dominated in the early days, have been replaced by biomass-derived CDs (BCDs) due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, and ease of synthesis. Although extensive research has been carried out on the applications of CDs in the biomedical field, the use of biomass as a precursor for CDs in therapeutic and clinical applications remains least explored and has not been systematically reviewed. This review primarily focuses on synthesis strategies, factors influencing the biomedical use of CDs, and recent research in therapeutic and clinical applications. In addition, the earlier trend of employing BCDs in bioimaging, biosensing, and molecular detection is also discussed. By examining the latest research developments, we provide a comprehensive overview of the progress and future prospects of BCDs in healthcare. This exploration highlights not only the potential of these sustainable nanomaterials but also their promise in enabling new breakthroughs in disease treatment. 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
