Dopamine-based nanotubes combine heat, electrical stimulation and antioxidant release for first time

Researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia developed new organic nanotubes that combine heat, electrical stimulation, and antioxidant release for the first time. These 500-nanometer structures could help treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Gianni Ciofani said, "The new nanoparticles could be used to modulate cellular activity," offering a versatile tool.
