| Sumario: | This work highlights the use of carbon nanohorns as gene delivery carriers. These carbon nanomaterials are promising candidates for the development of efficient and safe non-viral vectors. The advantages are their easy modification, the incorporation of different drugs onto or within their structure, their size and the absence of metallic particles in their synthesis. Key issues such as toxicity, biodistribution and various applications are reported here. |
