Found Protective Benefits of C60 Injected into Mice Brains, Except in Large Amounts

A study on injecting live mice brains with carboxy fullerene suggested it could be useful in preventing stroke, 20% of the mice that were injected with too much polyhydroxylated C60 died. Local carboxy fullerene protects cortical infarction in rat brain

• Study strengths: C60 was found to be useful in protecting against damage from strokes.
• Study weaknesses: Due to Polyhydroxylated C60 rapidly shedding its attached hydroxyl radicals, it can cause damage if injected in large amounts directly into the brain.
  
  

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 vibrating in dozens of resonant nodes. This test is simulating something that could only occur at absolute zero temperature, not in the human body. No actual experimentation was done, this is solely a computer simulation.
