Artificial cell membrane (lipid membrane)‐incorporating C 60 and C 70 (LMIC 60 and LMIC 70 ) were prepared by using the fullerene (= egg yolk in the picture) exchange reaction from the cyclodextrin cavity (= eggshell in the picture) to the membrane. Advantages of this method reported by Atsushi Ikeda et al. in their Full Paper on page 605 ff. are that the maximum ratio of [C 60 or C 70 ]/[lipids] and the stabilities and photodynamic activities of LMIC 60 and LMIC 70 solutions were much higher than those prepared by the classical method.
