This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Cancer Treatments In article number 2309283, Emel Kirbas Cilingir, Açelya Yilmazer, Roger M. Leblanc, and co-workers discuss the synthesis of copper chlorophyllin-based carbon dots (Chl-D CDs) that exhibit unique spectroscopic traits. These dots induce a Fenton-like reaction, enhancing photodynamic therapy efficacy through ferroptotic and apoptotic pathways. The study explores their biocompatibility and potential in cancer treatment, highlighting their role in reactive oxygen species formation and the modulation of oxidative stress.
