Enhanced Uptake and Phototoxicity of C<sub>60</sub>@albumin Hybrids by Folate Bioconjugation

Enhanced Uptake and Phototoxicity of C<sub>60</sub>@albumin Hybrids by Folate Bioconjugation

Fullerenes are considered excellent photosensitizers, being highly suitable for photodynamic therapy (PDT). A lack of water solubility and low biocompatibility are, in many instances, still hampering the full exploitation of their potential in nanomedicine. Here, we used human serum albumin (HSA) to...
