Carbon Nanotubes in Cancer Therapy and Drug Delivery

Figure 8

TEM showing the difference between HeLa cancer cells before treatment and after treatment with carbon nanotube formulations and the fate of the nanotubes: (a) HeLa cells before treatment, (b) HeLa cells treated with DOX-FA-CHI-ALG-SWNTs, (c) a magnified image of (b), and (d) magnified image of the boxed region in (c). The black arrow points at a SWNT-containing vesicle, and the white arrow points at some aggregated nanotubes inside a lysosome [32].
