Abstract

(Graph Presented) Brought to a halt. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to examine morphology and silicon content around HepG2 cells treated with silicon nanowires. Morphological changes and alterations in adhesion and spreading were found to be associated with silicon around the cell bodies. The results show that silicon nanowires do not favor HepG2 cell adhesion and spreading (see figure). © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
