Use of Selected Carbon Nanoparticles as Melittin Carriers for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Cells

Use of Selected Carbon Nanoparticles as Melittin Carriers for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Cells

Despite advanced techniques in medicine, breast cancer caused the deaths of 627,000 women in 2018. Melittin, the main component of bee venom, has lytic properties for many types of cells, including cancer cells. To increase its toxic effect, carbon nanoparticles, graphene oxide, pristine graphene, a...
