title: Comparative analysis of mesothelial invasion by single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes using computational approach.
abstract: This study explored the interactions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with mesothelial cells. We carried out molecular dynamic simulation studies on the mesothelial cell invasion by single and multi walled carbon nanotubes. In our simulation experiments SWCNTs showed greater binding affinity with membrane in comparison to MWCNTs with similar aspect ratio.
