Theranostic carbon dots derived from garlic with efficient anti-oxidative effects towards macrophages

Abstract

Luminescent garlic carbon dots with superior photostability are synthesized via microwave assisted heating. The garlic dots are biocompatible, have low toxicity and can be used as benign theranostic nanoparticles for bioimaging with efficient anti-oxidative effects towards macrophages.
