Application of carbon nanostructures in biomedicine: realities, difficulties, prospects.

The review systematizes data on the wide possibilities of practical application of carbon nanostructures. Much attention is paid to the use of carbon nanomaterials in medicine for the visualization of tumors during surgical interventions, in the creation of cosmetics, as well as in agriculture in the creation of fertilizers. Additionally, we demonstrate trends in research in the field of carbon nanomaterials with a view to elaborating targeted drug delivery systems.

C adduct with L-arginine as a promising nanomaterial for treating cerebral ischemic stroke.

The work aimed to investigate the biocompatibility and biological activity of the water-soluble fullerene adduct C-Arg. It was found that the material is haemocompatible, is not cyto- and genotoxic, possesses pronounced antioxidant activity. Additionally, this paper outlines the direction of application of water-soluble fullerene adducts in the creation of neuroprotectors.
