title: Direct and short-time uptake of [70]fullerene into the cell membrane using an exchange reaction from a [70]fullerene-gamma-cyclodextrin complex and the resulting photodynamic activity.
abstract: [70]Fullerene (C70) was directly incorporated into the cell membrane using an exchange reaction from a C70-gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CDx) complex within 10 min and the incorporated C70 acted as a photodynamic sensitiser for a cancer cell.
