Buckminsterfullerenols as Neuroprotective Agents Against Neuronal Damage

Buckminsterfullerenols as Neuroprotective Agents Against Neuronal Damage A research study published in Neuroscience in 1996 by Dugan et al. investigates the potential of buckminsterfullerenols, a type of water-soluble, polyhydroxylated C60 fullerene derivatives, to protect brain cells (neurons) from damage caused by excitotoxicity and apoptosis. The study demonstrates that these fullerene-based compounds act as powerful antioxidants, […]
