摘要
Tasty tubes: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalized with fluorescein isothiocyanate and amphotericin B (AmB) have been shown to be rapidly internalized by mammalian cells (see picture) without the toxic effects typically displayed upon treatment with AmB. Furthermore, the modified drug exhibits a higher antifungal activity than native AmB. (Figure Presented) © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
