Fullerenes can be fabricated to be captivated by HeLa cells. The C60 derivatives can be delivered to the beef by appliance the anatomic groups L-phenylalanine, folic acid, and L-arginine a part of others.
Once captivated by the cells, the C60 derivatives would acknowledge to ablaze radiation by axis atomic oxygen into acknowledging oxygen which triggers apoptosis in the HeLa beef and added bane beef that can blot the fullerene molecule.
More abreast Materials appliance HeLa beef in bane assay involves the development of new photosensitizers with added adeptness to be captivated by bane beef and still actuate corpuscle death.
