The surface charge of carbon dots (CDs) governs cellular uptake; however, studies seldom compare CDs with similar physico-chemical properties thereby introducing confounding variables. Here, we investigate how the surface charge of amine-passivated carbon dots with similar optical and chemical properties influences their uptake in human cells. We synthesi ...

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum pesticide used in crops and is found in many products used by industry and consumers. Unfortunately, glyphosate has been shown to have some toxicity toward many organisms found in our ecosystems and has been reported to have carcinogenic effects on humans. Hence, there is a need to develop novel nanosensors that are more sen ...
