Abstract EN
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been introduced recently as a novel carrier system for both small and large therapeutic molecules.
CNTs can be functionalized (i.e., surface engineered) with certain functional groups in order to manipulate their physical or biological properties.
In addition to the ability of CNTs to act as carriers for a wide range of therapeutic molecules, their large surface area and possibility to manipulate their surfaces and physical dimensions have been exploited for use in the photothermal destruction of cancer cells.
This paper paper will discuss the therapeutic applications of CNTs with a major focus on their applications for the treatment of cancer.
