As a new type of "zero-dimensional" fluorescent carbon nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have some unique optical and chemical properties, they are being explored for a variety of applications in bio-related fields, such as bioimaging, biosensors, and therapy. This review mainly summarizes the recent progress of CDs in bioimaging. The overview of this review can be roughly divided into two categories: (1) bioimaging based on CDs in different cells and important organelles. (2) The distribution, imaging and application of CDs in mice and zebrafish. In addition, this review also points out the potential advantages and future development directions of CDs for bioimaging, which may promote the development of CDs in the field of bioimaging.
作为一种新型的“零维”荧光碳纳米材料，碳点（CDs）具有一些独特的光学和化学性质，正被探索用于生物相关领域的各种应用，如生物成像、生物传感器和治疗。本综述主要总结了碳点在生物成像方面的最新进展。本综述的概述大致可分为两类：（1）基于碳点在不同细胞和重要细胞器中的生物成像。（2）碳点在小鼠和斑马鱼中的分布、成像及应用。此外，本综述还指出了碳点用于生物成像的潜在优势和未来发展方向，这可能会推动碳点在生物成像领域的发展。
