Phosphorescence of Carbon Nanodots – The Phenomena and the Applications
Abstract: Photoluminescence has emerged as a fundamental phenomenon in modern biomedical science, enabling advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic applications through light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. The ability of photoluminescent materials to absorb electromagnetic radiation and emit light at distinct wavelengths has been widely exploited in bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery tracking, and photodynamic therapy. Among various photoluminescent nanomaterials, carbon nanodots have attracted significant attention due to their strong emission intensity, tunable fluorescence, …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …
