Abstract

Fullerenes, a novel class of carbon nanostructures, are emerging as a promising therapeutic platform in regenerative medicine due to their potent antioxidant, cellular-modulating and redox-balancing properties. This white paper examines the integration of fullerene technology with stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies, outlines a synergistic framework for improving regenerative outcomes, reviews the fundamental chemistry and mechanisms of fullerenes, and addresses translational challenges. These findings suggest fullerenes may serve as catalytic bioprotectants, forming a new foundation for next-generation regenerative therapies.

Keywords: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP); Fullerenes; Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs.)
