The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a microvascular network responsible for excluding
most drugs from the brain. Treatment of brain tumors is limited by the impermeability of the …

Due to the ability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to prevent the entry of drugs into the brain,
it is a challenge to treat central nervous system disorders pharmacologically. The …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Fullerenes have the characteristic of a hollow interior, and this unique feature triggers
intuitive inspiration to entrap atoms, ions or clusters inside the carbon cage in the form of …

Cytokines are bioactive proteins produced by many different cells of the immune system.
Due to their role in different inflammatory disease states and maintaining homeostasis, there …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of hybrid molecules formed by
encapsulation of metallic species inside fullerene cages, exhibit unique properties that differ …

Nanoparticles (NPs) were widely used in drugs/probes delivery for improved disease
diagnosis and/or treatment. Targeted delivery to cancer cells is a highly attractive application …

Nanomedicines exploit the unusual physicochemical and biological properties of
nanoparticles, including their nanoscopic size, high surface‐area‐to‐volume ratio, easy …

Cancer is a most common cause of mortality globally. Available medicines possess severe
side effects owing to their non-specific targeting. Hence, there is a need of an alternative in …

Functionalized fullerenes with specific physicochemical properties have been developed for
