Résumé

Different studies, carried out by us and others, have investigated the impact of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in vitro and in animal models. To date, only a few studies have been performed on human cells ex vivo. There is also a lack of comparison between CNTs with varied functionalization and structural properties and their impact on different cell types.
