(a) Graphene oxide (GO): cancer stem cells targeted at the difference with nanotherapy [71]. (b) Schematic illustration of a processing method for SAL-SWNTs-CHI-HA (chitosan- (CHI-) coated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) treated with hyaluronic acid (HA) salinomycin (SAL)) [102]. (c) Schematic diagram showing the concept of drug carriers as operational SWCNTs [103]. (d) Left: a graphical model demonstrating the surface and chemical composition of (ND) and epirubicin (Epi). Epirubicin-nanodiamond (EPND) complex synthesis and aggregation. [104].
