Nano-antioxidants shown to have ‘enormous’ capability to quench superoxides after traumatic injury.

Injectable nanoparticles that could protect an injured person from further damage due to oxidative stress have proven to be astoundingly effective in tests to study their mechanism.  Scientists at Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas have designed methods to validate their 2012 discovery that combined polyethylene glycol-hydrophilic carbon clusters, known as PEG-HCCs, could quickly stem the process of overoxidation that … Continue reading Nano-antioxidants shown to have ‘enormous’ capability to quench superoxides after traumatic injury.
