NHF-derived carbon dots: prevalidation approach in breast cancer treatment

Abstract Metastatic breast cancer dominates the female cancer-related mortality. Tumour-associated molecules represents a crucial for early disease detection and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Nanomaterial technologies provide promising novel approaches to disease diagnostics and thera...
