Applications of AntiProoxidant Fullerenes in Nanomedicine along with Fullerenes Influence on the Immune System

Abstract EN

Fullerenes are molecules that, due to their unique structure, have very specific chemical properties which offer them very wide array of applications in nanomedicine.

The most prominent are protection from radiation-induced injury, neuroprotection, drug and gene delivery, anticancer therapy, adjuvant within different treatments, photosensitizing, sonosensitizing, bone reparation, and biosensing.

However, it is of crucial importance to be elucidated how fullerenes immunomodulate human system of defense.

In addition, the most current research, merging immunology and nanomedicine, results in development of nanovaccines, which may represent the milestone of future treatment of diseases.
