Development of nanoparticle based nicotine vaccines for smoking cessation
… by incorporating a negatively charged nanohorn into cationic liposome to improve the stability of liposome and reduce nanoparticle flocculation. Subsequently, nicotine vaccine was constructed by conjugating nicotine-BSA complex to the surface of the nanohorn supported liposome (NsL). …

Development of a Hollow-Core Fiberoptic Microneedle Device for the Treatment of Invasive Bladder Cancer
… the fluid dispersal of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) in the wall of inflated, healthy ex vivo bladders demonstrated that perfusion of 2 cm° on the bladder wall's surface can be achieved with a 5 minute infusion at 50 ?L/min. Irradiation of the SWNH perfused bladder wall tissue with a …
