Dense carbon-nanotube coating scaffolds stimulate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have desirable mechanical properties for use as biomaterials in orthopedic and dental area such as bone- and tooth- substitutes. Here, we demonstrate that a glass surface densely coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of ra...
