Nanomechanical mechanism for lipid bilayer damage induced by carbon nanotubes confined in intracellular vesicles

Understanding the behavior of low-dimensional nanomaterials confined in intracellular vesicles has been limited by the resolution of bioimaging techniques and the complex nature of the problem. Recent studies report that long, stiff carbon nanotubes are more cytotoxic than flexible varieties, but th...
