What Are the Safety Concerns Associated with SWCNTs?
While SWCNTs hold great potential in cancer treatment, there are concerns regarding their biocompatibility and toxicity. Studies have shown that SWCNTs can induce inflammation, oxidative stress, and other adverse effects depending on their size, shape, and functionalization. Ongoing research aims to address these safety issues by optimizing the design and functionalization of SWCNTs to minimize their toxicity.
