Photodynamic Therapy Mediated by Fullerenes and their Derivatives – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

The fullerene molecule with its unique structure of 60 carbon atoms arranged
in a soccer ball structure is a molecule of great potential for a variety
of applications and has drawn attention of lots of physicists, chemists and
engineers. Recently, these nanostructures have also been studied for their
biological activities with a view towards using them for biomedical applications.
One of the possible therapies for which fullerenes may have a real
medical application is the light based therapy called photodynamic therapy
(PDT), which is a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach that has been
used in the treatment of solid tumors and many non-malignant diseases.
