Abstract
when the effective inhibition rate was ∼55.4%. Intracellular ROS scavenging studies further identified that CuNCs can obviously protect cells from oxidative stress and the cell viability recovered to above 90%. Hence, we expect that ultrasmall CuNCs will provide good therapeutic potential in the future treatment of ROS-related diseases.
