Water-Soluble C60 Fullerene Reduces Lung Scarring in Mice

Water-Soluble C60 Fullerene Reduces Lung Scarring in Mice A research study published in International Journal of Nanomedicine in 2020 by Li et al. investigates the potential of water-soluble C60 fullerene (C60(OH)22), a carbon-based nanoparticle, to protect against lung scarring in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study, shows that C60 can reduce […]

Squalane-Dissolved Fullerene-C60 Reduces Inflammation and Fat Cell Formation in Obesity-Related Research

Squalane-Dissolved Fullerene-C60 Reduces Inflammation and Fat Cell Formation in Obesity-Related Research A research study published in Biomaterials in 2010 by Xiao et al. investigates the effects of squalane-dissolved fullerene-C60 (Sql-fullerene), a carbon-based nanoparticle, on inflammation and fat cell development in lab models mimicking obesity-related conditions. The study shows that Sql-fullerene can reduce harmful processes linked […]
