Additional information
Water-soluble single-walled nanotubes are being tested as contrast agents for medical imaging and for the delivery of therapeutically active molecules to target cells. This was the first report that these nanostructures are non-toxic, can target the cytoplasm of cells, and become more defective, i.e. degrade, inside human cells. This work demonstrates their potential as a platform for delivering therapeutic molecules to tissues. This paper led to an ERC starting grant (CNBBB) for Porter valued at >£1M and to an invited talk at the key international NT10 conference.
