Abstract: Carbon dots (CDs) are carbon-based zero-dimensional nanomaterials with characteristic sizes of less than 10 nm. Recently, bioactive CDs have made remarkable achievements in wound healing, bone and cartilage repair, neural regeneration, and myocardium regeneration owing to their unique physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility, which have significantly promoted the advancement of tissue engineering. Herein, we summarize the applications of bioactive CDs in tissue engineering. First, we briefly introduce the characteristics and synthesis methods of bioactive CDs. Subsequently, we review the applications of bioactive CDs in wound healing, bone and cartilage tissue engineering, neural tissue engineering, and cardiac tissue engineering in detail. Finally, we discuss the challenges and prospects of bioactive CDs in tissue engineering.
