Abstract
Hydrogel loaded GQDs can be used for targeted bioimaging in specific diseases, including cancer, due to their small size and biocompatibility. GQDs have potential for application in cancer therapy and ability to absorb radiation to make them suitable for photothermal and photodynamic therapies.Keywords
