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 […]

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 […]
