Effects of Fullerene Nanowhiskers on Cells

Effects of Fullerene Nanowhiskers on Cells Purpose: This study investigates the safety of fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs), a carbon-based nanomaterial, by examining their effects on cell health and gene activity, comparing them to multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titania nanoparticles. Findings: FNWs show lower cytotoxicity than MWCNTs and titania nanoparticles. They cause minimal disruption to cell […]
