Accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy approaches\nare critical factors for cancer treatment. Combination of therapeutic and diagnostic\nagents in a single nanocarrier enables to simultaneously monitor the cancer progression and tune\ndisease therapy with minimum side effect.\n<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p> Carbon dots are a novel class of small fluorescence carbon nanostructures with size\nless than 10 nm at least in one dimension, which exhibit excellent optical properties, larger surface\narea to volume ratio and low toxicity. The unique properties of carbon dots make it as an\nideal carrier for incorporation of cancer targeting moieties, bio-imaging agents and antineoplastic\nagents in one delivery system.\n<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p> An literature search was conducted using Web of Science to find out articles related to\ncarbon dots and tumor theranostics.\n<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p> Numerous applications of carbon dots in cancer theranostics have been reported during\nthe past 10 years. This review introduces a brief history and basic fluorescent properties of carbon\ndots, and then discusses synthesis strategies and applications of carbon dots in biological imaging,\ntargeted anti-cancer drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy as well as\ngene delivery for cancer theranostics. Future directions of carbon dots in cancer theranostics are\nalso highlighted.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/0929867324666170316110810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,17]],"date-time":"2017-03-17T04:49:05Z","timestamp":1489726145000},"page":"2894-2909","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Multicolorful Carbon Dots for Tumor Theranostics"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Haitao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Dalian Polytechnic University, National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, Qinggongyuan 1, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116034, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingran","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Dalian Polytechnic University, National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, Qinggongyuan 1, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116034, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bei-Wei","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Dalian Polytechnic University, National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, Qinggongyuan 1, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116034, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingqian","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Dalian Polytechnic University, National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, Qinggongyuan 1, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116034, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","container-title":["Current Medicinal Chemistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/150916","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/150916\/article","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/150916","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,25]],"date-time":"2020-12-25T09:47:23Z","timestamp":1608889643000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/150916\/article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"25","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]]}},"alternative-id":["LiveAll1"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/0929867324666170316110810","relation":{},"ISSN":["0929-8673"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0929-8673","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Peer Reviewed","order":0,"name":"review_status","label":"Review Status","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Single blind","order":1,"name":"review_process","label":"Review Process","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Checked with iThenticate","order":0,"name":"screening_status","label":"Screening Status","group":{"name":"plagiarism_screening","label":"Plagiarism Screening"}},{"value":"2016-06-22","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-10-30","order":1,"name":"revised","label":"Revised","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-10-31","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2018-08-30","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
