• Application of conductive polymers, scaffolds and electrical stimulation for nerve tissue engineering (2011, background): “In fact, CNTs represent a scaffold composed of small fibres or tubes that have diameters similar to those of neural processes such as dendrites (Lovat et al., 2005).”
• Nanotechnological strategies for engineering complex tissues (2010, background): “Carbon nanotubes were also shown to support the cultivation of neurons, and in recent years, several studies have shown that conjugation of these nanotubes to different substrates can affect cell behaviour and promote attachment, growth, differentiation and long-term survival of neuron”

(2019, neutral): “…in vitro studies, CNTs substrates were shown to have no toxic effects on cell lines, dissociated primary cultures, or organotypic slice cultures [23,57,110], accordingly all studies reporting the use of CNT to implement in vivo electrodes did not observed nano-tube related toxicity…”
