Nanomaterials for Tumor Therapy

Choi Sara

Chirality could be a basic characteristic of natural molecules and an important think about the organic chemistry reactions of living cells and organisms. Recently, researchers have with success introduced chiral molecules to the surfaces of nanomaterials, making chiral nanomaterials that exhibit AN upscaling of chiral behavior from the molecular scale to the nanoscale. These chiral nanomaterials will by selection induce autophagy, apoptosis, and photo thermal ablation in tumor cells supported their chirality, creating them promising for application in anti-tumor medical aid. However, these attentiongrabbing and vital phenomena have up to now received very little attention.
