C60 Fullerene Reduces Liver Damage in Rat Model of Liver Cancer

C60 Fullerene Reduces Liver Damage in Rat Model of Liver Cancer A research study published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity in 2020 by Halenova et al. investigates the effects of water-soluble C60 fullerene, a carbon-based nanoparticle, on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common liver cancer, in rats. The study, shows that C60 fullerene can slow […]

C60 Derivatives as a New Weapon Against Cancer

C60 Derivatives as a New Weapon Against Cancer What’s New? Researchers have developed a new set of [60]fullerene (C60) derivatives, modified with pyridinium groups, to fight cancer. Unlike earlier versions that were hard to purify, these single-addition (mono-adduct) compounds are easier to produce and show strong anti-cancer effects, even against drug-resistant tumors. Key Findings: Cancer […]

C60 Fullerene’s Role in Health and Longevity

C60 Fullerene’s Role in Health and Longevity A series of patents and studies highlight the remarkable potential of [60]fullerene (C60), a soccer ball-shaped carbon molecule, in biomedicine, cosmetics, optics, and regenerative therapies. Using high-purity sublimed C60 (99.98%) and its water-soluble derivatives, these innovations aim to enhance health, combat aging, and extend lifespan. Key Applications and […]

Metallofullerenols – A New Hope for Cancer Treatment

Metallofullerenols – A New Hope for Cancer Treatment What’s New? Scientists are exploring metallofullerenols (MFs), special versions of fullerene C60 molecules with metals like gadolinium trapped inside, for medical uses. Originally used to improve MRI scans, MFs are now showing exciting potential in cancer treatment and beyond. Key Findings: MFs are powerful because they: Act […]

C60 Fullerenes Revolutionizing Medicine What’s Exciting About C60? A recent patent application (Publication Number 20210378982 A1) highlights the incredible potential of fullerenes, especially C60, in medical treatments. C60, a soccer ball-shaped carbon molecule, is showing promise in transforming how we tackle diseases, from cancer to infections, thanks to its unique structure. Key Benefits for Health: […]

Carbon Nanomaterials and Immune Cell Activation

Carbon Nanomaterials and Immune Cell Activation What’s New? This study investigates how carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), tiny carbon-based particles, affect immune cells called macrophages at low, non-toxic doses. Unlike past research focusing on high, harmful doses, this work explores how small amounts influence immune responses over time. Key Findings: When macrophage-like cells were exposed to 10 […]
