Endosomal Leakage and Nuclear Translocation of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes: Developing a Model for Cell Uptake

Abstract

We report our findings on cellular membrane penetration, endocytosis, endosomal leakage, and nuclear translocation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Our data is consistent with a working model for MWCNTs' cell uptake and cellular translocations.
