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 […]

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 […]
