We are proud to announce the publication of the latest research from Pedro Fonte’s group (iBB-IST), "Sustainable Carbon Dots Loaded into Carboxymethylcellulose Based Hydrogels for Uterine Cancer Bioimaging," which highlights innovative advances in sustainable biomaterials for women's health.

This work explores hydrogels incorporating carbon dots, produced from renewable fibers for advanced bioimaging applications. The research demonstrates that these hydrogels are biocompatible, eco-friendly, and capable of significantly enhancing fluorescence for improved diagnostic precision and therapeutic potential in uterine cancer.

The study represents a meaningful step forward in developing efficient and sustainable biomaterials tailored to women’s health diagnostics and treatments.

Congratulations to Jordane S. Rodrigues, Pedro Brandão, Sofia O. D. Duarte, Izabela Boueri da Silveira, Maria de Fátima Leite, Max P. Gonçalves, Fernanda G. L. Medeiros Borsagli, and Pedro Fonte for this important contribution to biomedical research. See more.
