Mast cells (MC) are important immune sentinels found in most tissue and widely recognized for their role as mediators of Type I hypersensitivity. However, they als... |
| Inhibition of inflammatory arthritis using fullerene nanomaterials |
2015 |
841 |
Inflammatory arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis; RA) is a complex disease driven by the interplay of multiple cellular lineages. Fullerene derivatives have previously been shown to have anti-inflammatory capabilities mediated, in part, by their abi... |
| Liposomal formulation of amphiphilic fullerene antioxidants |
2010 |
1098 |
Novel amphiphilic fullerene[70] derivatives that are rationally designed to intercalate in lipid bilayers are reported, as well as its vesicular formulation with surprisingly high loading capacity up to 65% by weight. The amphiphilic C70 bisadduct fo... |
| A new steroid-mimicking nanomaterial that mediates inhibition of human lung mast cells responses |
2014 |

Water-soluble fullerenes can be engineered to regulate activation of mast cells (MC) and control MC-driven diseases in vivo. To further understand their anti-inflammatory mechanisms a C70-based fullerene conjugated to four myo-inositol molecules (C70... |
| NF-kappaB Inhibitors that Prevent Foam Cell Formation and Atherosclerotic Plaque Accumulation |
2017 |
233 |
The transformation of monocyte-derived macrophages into lipid-laden foam cells is one inflammatory process underlying atherosclerotic disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that fullerene derivatives (FDs) have inflammation-blunting properties. ... |
| The Role of Horseshoe Crabs in the Biomedical Industry and Recent Trends Impacting Species Sustainability |
2018 |

To the Editor, We are compelled to comment on a recent article in your journal “C60 Exposure Augments Cardiac Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Coronary Artery Contraction in Sprague Dawley Rats; 138(2), 365–378” by Thompson1 in which various conclusio... |
| A synthetic crustacean bait to stem forage fish depletion |
2016 |
861 |
Crustaceans, such as crab and lobster, comprise an important global food commodity. They are captured in traps using primarily forage fish (e.g. anchovies, herring, and menhaden), as bait. Approximately 18 million tons of these fish are used annually... |
| Uptake and distribution of fullerenes in human mast cells |
2010 |
