Effect of carbonization degree of carbon dots on cytotoxicity and photo-induced toxicity to cells

Background: Pristine carbon dots (CDs) derived from citric acid pyrolysis are used in a variety of biomedical research such as imaging and drug delivery. However, potential cytotoxic effects of pyrolysis temperature on cells is underexplored. To address this need, we studied toxicity of the CDs to b...
