Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), small graphene domains with lateral dimensions lower than 10 nm, are increasingly used in electronics, composites, and biomedicine. Chemical doping of GQDs allows tuning their optical properties. Immune cells are among the first cells exposed to nanomaterials entering a...
