The biocompatibility of carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are well-ordered, high aspect ratio allotropes of carbon The two main variants, SWCNT and MWCNT, both possess a high tensile strength, are ultra-light weight, and have excellent chemical and thermal stability They also possess semi-and metallic-conductive properties as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: By manipulating the charge carried by functionalized carbon nanotubes the authors are able to control the outgrowth and branching pattern of neuronal processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone cell proliferation on carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: There was a dramatic change in cell morphology in osteoblasts cultured on MWNTs, which correlated with changes in plasma membrane functions, and CNTs carrying neutral electric charge sustained the highest cell growth and production of plate-shaped crystals.
