The BET technique was used to measure the specific surface area of both CBNs (MWCNTs and GFs) using a Gemini VII 2360 (Micromeritics, Georgia, USA; located at Purdue University). This AFM mode is based on the acquisition of low-speed, quasi-static F–Z curves predefined by the user grid of points, resulting in the simultaneous acquisition of topography and material properties maps [69]. Raman spectroscopy was used to structurally characterize both nanomaterials (MWCNTs and GFs) in powder form. Tes Global Ltd is 2012;25:15–34. Hirsch C, Roesslein M, Krug HF, Wick P. Nanomaterial cell interactions: are current in vitro tests reliable? The conventional biochemical live/dead assay is frequently used to report the cellular esterase activity and the membrane integrity as determinants of cell viability affected by direct exposure to CBNs. Cells labeled with DHE indicates metabolic stress by ROS production that does not mean imminent death [53]. Then, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated phalloidin (Cat A12379, Thermofisher, MD, USA) was added to label the actin cytoskeleton; the phalloidin toxin has a high affinity for F-actin subunits, stopping the normal denaturalization; thus, the actin fiber can be visualized when the phalloidin is labeled with a fluorescence compound. 2008. https://doi.org/10.1038/nprot.2008.23.

Ponti J, Colognato R, Rauscher H, Gioria S, Broggi F, Franchini F, et al. The lower availability of media protein can be considered as a major cause of cells toxicity induced by GF on NIH3T3 fibroblasts since the presence of these nanomaterials into the cells were not proved by TEM images. TEM characterization of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Oxide Flakes are showed. The ROS production results differ from the viability assay, reported above, where cells treated with GF had slightly lower toxicity compared with the cells exposed to MWCNT. Schematic of experimental setup using AFM. 2006;84:282–92. The dynamic elastic modulus under dynamic loads does not show the phenomenon of low static elastic modulus in the small stress condition. The relative trigger force used was 2 nN to minimize the cell deformation and the damage to the cells. We found that the greater SSA of MWCNT were not a good predictor of cells toxicity by CBNs as their shape and dimensionality. Determination of elastic moduli of thin layers of soft material using the atomic force microscope. By contrast, at longer exposure times (24 h), the cells’ metabolic stress was induced by ROS production, and cytoskeleton damage, which led to an increase in cell volume, probably as result of sodium/potassium pumps dysfunction [67]. An important assumption in the analysis using this model is that the microsphere indentation is much smaller than the finite cell height (10–20% of the cell thickness) to minimize artifacts in extracted elasticity maps originating from contributions of the hard substrate due to the finite cell thickness [71]. b.

This behavior has been previously demonstrated via molecular dynamics simulations, where π–π stacking with the aromatic residues of proteins showed to be reduced in cylindrical nanostructures, limiting the adsorption [30, 31, 36, 65]. The increased production of ROS by CBNs can be linked to the biomechanical changes on fibroblast, specifically to lower Youngs modulus.
