The carbon clusters are 35 nanometres long, three nanometres wide and an atom thick, and bulk up to about 100 nanometres in globular form. They combine polyethylene glycol with hydrophilic carbon clusters (PEG-HCCs).
The soluble nanoparticles synthesised at Rice University in the US have shown no signs of acute toxicity in prior rodent studies, he said. Since the macrophages and other splenic immune cells are unaffected, most of a patients existing immune system remains intact, he said. So we get excited when we see something new that could potentially enable selectivity," Huq said. "Theyre going to affect all of these cells, but patients are exposed to side effects from infections to increased chances of developing cancer. "The majority of current treatments are general, broad-spectrum immunosuppressants," said Redwan Huq, lead author of the study and a graduate student in the Beeton lab.
