TL;DR: Following application of ultrasounds to cells treated with BTNPs, fluorescence imaging of ion dynamics revealed that the synergic stimulation is able to elicit a significant cellular response in terms of calcium and sodium fluxes; moreover, tests with appropriate blockers demonstrated that voltage-gated membrane channels are activated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytocompatibility, interactions, and uptake of polyethyleneimine-coated boron nitride nanotubes by living cells: confirmation of their potential for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate good cytocompatibility together with unequivocal BNNT cellular uptake by an energy-dependent endocytic process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boron nitride nanotubes: An innovative tool for nanomedicine
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the results of their studies on the interactions between boron nitride nanotubes and living cells and outline future and realistic applications for their use in the biomedical field.
