Nanotubes a very small particle made of carbon that is over 10,000 times thinner than a human hair can go into specific immune cells, travel through the bloodstream and enter tumors as a Trojan horse.

Nanotube -loaded nanotubes can be loaded that stimulates immune cells that stimulate immune cells and thus reduce plaque debris.

These nanoparticles can also be used to improve diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.

Nanoparticle-based cancer drugs first entered the clinic in 1995 , and researchers have developed many others since.

But there is currently only one cardiovascular nanodrug approved by the Food and Drug Administration .

This suggests opportunity for new nanotherapy approaches to improve cardiovascular drug efficacy and reduce side effects.
