Acta Pharm Hung. 2015;85(2):71-9.
[Article in Hungarian]

Abstract

The demand for revealing the medical advantages offered by nanotechnology is increasing more and more. Titanate nanotubes deserve consideration in many aspects. Their production is easy, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Due to their special physico-chemical properties, titanate nanotubes can play an important role in different fields of therapy, such as medical diagnostics, implantology, or even as cancer treatment. The aim of our work is to present the titanate nanotubes and give an overview on their medical applicability through the results of previous researches.
