New carbon nanoparticles were recently developed for research in chemotherapy. Preliminary tests showed no cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells. The first goal is to assess the uptake of these carbon nanoparticles that are loaded with drugs into cells. The second goal is to check the intracellular trafficking by means of Transmission Electron Microscopy.
