Carbon nanotube (CNT) monolayer patterns are utilized to control the growth of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (see figure). MSCs exhibit preferential on CNT patterns, suggesting that does not have a harmful effect MSCs. Furthermore, swCNT between electrodes is demonstrated. These results show enormous potential as new platform for basic research and applications using cells.
