Carbon Nanotubes: Properties and Medical Applications

Abstract

Since the beginning of the twenty-one century, carbon based nanomaterial (CNTs) has been introduced in (pharmacy and medicine) in therapeutic for system of drug delivery. NTs have proved able to transport a wide range of molecules across membranes and into living cells; therefore, they have attracted great interest in biomedical applications such as advanced imaging, tissue regeneration, and drug or gene deliver. As it is known, carbon nanotubes exhibit various unique intrinsic chemical and physical properties and it has been intensive explored, in the last few years, for applications in biology and biomedicine.
