C60 + Antimicrobial Properties

C60 + Antimicrobial Properties C60 was found to be an antimicrobial agent for group A streptococcus. Inhibition of Group A Streptococcus Infection by Carboxyfullerene Study strengths: C60 inhibited disease causing bacteria. Study weaknesses: This study was done in vivo, in living mice. C60 was found, in a 2013 study, to effectively combat the flu virus. C60 compounds […]

C60 + Inflammatory (Allergic) Response

C60 + Inflammatory (Allergic) In a 2007 study, C60 was found to inhibit allergic response, and researchers believe it may play a role in controlling allergy-related inflammatory conditions. Fullerene Nanomaterials Inhibit the Allergic Response Study strengths: C60 may be useful in controlling allergies and cytokine storms in humans. Study weaknesses: This study was done with human […]

Computer Simulation Speculates Potential DNA Damage from C60

Computer Simulation Speculates Potential DNA Damage from C60 In a computer simulation with rigid RNA and DNA, C60 molecules fit in the groove of RNA and side groove of DNA. C60 binds to and deforms nucleotides Study strengths: None. This is not considered science at all. Study weaknesses: RNA and DNA are never rigid, but constantly […]
