Modulation of apoptotic pathways of macrophages by surface-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

Biomedical applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often involve improving their hydrophilicity and dispersion in biological media by modifying them through noncovalent or covalent functionalization. However, the potential adverse effects of surface-functionalized CNTs have not been well characteriz...
