Functionalized carbon nanotubes in the brain: cellular internalization and neuroinflammatory responses.

The potential use of functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) for drug and gene delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) and as neural substrates makes the understanding of their in vivo interactions with the neural tissue essential. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions betw...
