Nanomaterials and nanotechnology is in forefront of materials research. Minimal attention is given to the potential participation of these materials in cell metabolism. Here we review recent efforts to understanding how carbon nanomaterials participate on cell metabolism. First, the introduction to the materials science of graphene, carbon nanotubes and metallic nanoparticles is give. Second, different mechanisms of participation of these materials on the cell metabolism are discussed and elucidated.

More about this publication?
  • Current Drug Metabolism aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in drug metabolism and disposition. The journal serves as an international forum for the publication of timely reviews in drug metabolism. Current Drug Metabolism is an essential journal for academic, clinical, government and pharmaceutical scientists who wish to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important developments. The journal covers the following areas:

    In vitro systems including CYP-450; enzyme induction and inhibition; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; P-glycoprotein and transport carriers; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability; drug metabolism and disposition studies; extrahepatic metabolism; phase I and phase II metabolism; recent developments for the identification of drug metabolites and adducts.
