Kyoto Researchers Combine Carbon Nanotubes and NIR Technology to Kill Cancer Cells
Updated: 2012-10-31 06:52:49
Kyoto University researchers have discovered that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combined with a near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation technique generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and kills cancer cells. CNTs have unique properties that can be exploited for diagnostics, thermal ablation and drug delivery. Working with an NIR laser, the research group led by Tatsuya Murakami, an Assistant [...]
