Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) characteristics during culture with SWCNT-MA. (a) Light micrograph of hASCs cultured in basal medium SWCNT-MA suspension, which was diluted 1/5 or diluted 1/10. (b) MTT of the hASCs cultivated with SWCNT-MA suspension. (c) Cell viability after 10 days of cell culture in basal medium with SWCNT-MA suspension, which was diluted 1/5 or diluted 1/10 as analyzed by Calcein-AM staining. The results showing no toxicity of SWCNT-MA to hASCs cultures. (d) AP activity assay of the hASCs cultivated with SWCNT-MA suspension. 2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni posttest (). The results represent the mean ± SEM. : hASCs × hASCs + SWCNT-MA 1/5 at time 2 days. : hASCs + SWCNT-MA 1/5 × hASCs + SWCNT-MA 1/10 at time 6 days.
