Abstract
Abstract:
Cancer is one of the most widespread life-threatening diseases, and among different
types of cancers, breast cancer is the major disease affecting many women worldwide.
Background:
Conventional chemotherapy using anticancer drugs has many drawbacks, like
poor water solubility, poor bioavailability, rapid relapse, non-specific selectivity, effect on normal
tissues, and rapid drug resistance. Thus, over the last few years, immense efforts have been
made to fabricate nanotherapeutics that will release drugs in response to stimuli.
Objective:
Nanotherapeutics based on graphene quantum dots have been acknowledged with
much gratitude in the bioscience field and investigation applications because of their distinguishing
chemical and physical properties, such as medicine delivery, biosensors, and bioimaging for
the advancement invention of disease.
Conclusion:
This paper analyzes the potential applications of graphene quantum dots for the
modified and desired release of antitumor drugs. Also, it shows graphene quantum dots' capability
to functionalize in the companionship of hyaluronic acid that operates regarding cancer cell
directing matrix in bioimaging and multimodal therapy.
