Curing the Toxicity of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes through Native Small-molecule Drugs

Abstract With the development and application of nanotechnology, large amounts of nanoparticles will be potentially released to the environment and possibly cause many severe health problems. Although the toxicity of nanoparticles has been investigated, prevention and treatment of damages caused by...
