Induction of ferroptosis in response to graphene quantum dots through mitochondrial oxidative stress in microglia

Abstract Background Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) provide a bright prospect in the biomedical application because they contain low-toxic compounds and promise imaging of deep tissues and tiny vascular structures. However, the biosafety of this novel QDs has not been thoroughly evaluated, especially i...
