Abstract

Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have been synthesized via the calcination method using natural gynostemma as the precursor, without any toxic ingredients or surface passivation chemicals. CDs have a narrow size distribution, and the mean particle size is about 2.5 nm. CDs exhibit good water dispersibility and can emit intense blue fluorescence under 365 nm UV light in an aqueous solution, which can be stable in different conditions. The biotoxicity of CDs on the embryonic development of zebrafish is evaluated, the hatch rate and survival rate of embryos are around 90%, and the malformation rate is less than 10%. Because of the excellent fluorescence stability and biocompatibility, CDs can be used in zebrafish for bioimaging. In addition, the antioxidative stress property of CDs is investigated both in vitro and in vivo, and the presence of CDs can promote the mRNA expression of related genes to encode more antioxidant proteins in zebrafish. Therefore, fluorescent CDs would be a potential candidate for bioimaging and treating diseases caused by excessive oxidation damage, such as cancer, senility, and other diseases associated with aging.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
