Water-soluble carbon nanotubes functionalized with cell-adhesion peptides do not affect the viability of different cell types, including Jurkat cells, splenocytes, and neurons. They also do not modify the neuronal morphology and basic functions, thus representing a promising candidate for the exploitation of novel drug-delivery systems or for designing a new generation of self-assembling nerve bridges.

Abstract

Water-soluble carbon nanotubes functionalized with cell-adhesion peptides do not affect the viability of different cell types, including Jurkat cells, splenocytes, and neurons. They also do not modify the neuronal morphology and basic functions, thus representing a promising candidate for the exploitation of novel drug-delivery systems or for designing a new generation of self-assembling nerve bridges.
