Herein, an innovative and simple method for synthesizing carbon dots (CDs) with satisfactory fluorescence has been successfully established while rose flowers served as carbon source for the first time. Meanwhile, the fluorescence (FL) mechanism of current CDs was elucidated in detail by fluorescence, UV-vis, HR-TEM, and FTIR-based analyses. Subsequently, this type of CDs was employed for detecting tetracycline (TC) on the basis of the interactions between TC and CDs, and allowed quenching their fluorescence. Moreover, the proposed analytical strategy permitted detecting TC in a linear range of 1.0×10(-8)-1.0×10(-4) mol/L with a detection limit of 3.3×10(-9) mol/L at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Significantly, the CDs described here were further applied for fluorescent coding, demonstrating their promising future towards various applications in analytic science.

Bioimaging probes based on carbon dots (CDs) can become a useful replacement for existing commercial probes, benefiting clinical diagnostics. While the development of dual-mode CD-based probes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides the ability for photoluminescence (PL) detection at the same time, is ongoing, several challenges have to be addressed. First, most of the CD-based probes still emit at shorter wavelengths (blue/green spectral range), which is harmful to biological objects or have very low PL intensity in the biological window of tissue transparency (red/near-infrared spectral range).

Carbon dots (CDs) are new types of fluorescent nanomaterials with particle diameters of 1∼10 nm and have excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties, good biocompatibility, simple preparation methods and numerous raw materials; consequently, they are promising in the biomedical field. In recent years, to overcome drug resistance and toxic side effects of traditional organic drugs, the synthesis of CDs from drug molecules has become an effective strategy, which produces CDs with the same therapeutic effects as the raw drugs and even possessing new properties. At present, many CDs derived from organic drugs have been developed, which can be classified according to their sources such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and guanidine drugs.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a complex and multifactorial ocular surface disease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are of pivotal importance in the inflammatory processes and biological dysfunction associated with DED. In this study, an injectable hydrogel, designated as OHACDgel, was created by combining oxidized HA-containing aldehyde groups (OHA) and gelation (gel) via dynamic covalent linkages of the hydrazine bonds, is employed as the carrier, while polyethylene imine-functionalized carbon dots (PEI-CD) can form dynamic chemical bonds with the hydrogel, thus prolonging the retention time of the ocular.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a prevalent contaminant in food and feed matrices, known for its hepatotoxic effects. Its metabolic breakdown generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and subsequent liver damage. Mitigating oxidative stress is, therefore, essential for ameliorating the hepatocellular damage and systemic toxicity caused by AFB1.
