Nanodiamonds to help target cancer cells

 

Nanodiamond particles, or nanodiamonds (NDs), have emerged as a promising candidate for use in biomedical imaging and for different biomedical applications such as drug carrier platform. They show decreased cytotoxicity in comparison to other NPs, and can follow their fate by fluorescence imaging as a result of point defects in the diamond structure.
