Fig. 6

MWCNTs produce an anti-migratory effect on cancer. a Migration trajectories of EB1 centrosome-labelled HeLa cells. Cell nuclei are labeled in blue, centrosomes in red and the centrosomal trajectories in green. The migration and the nuclear-centrosome axis directions are indicated in white and yellow, respectively. Cells treated with MWCNTs for 72 h display aberrant migration directions. As a result, their migration trajectories are shorter. b Calculated speeds for Hela cells and cancer cells exposed to MWCNTs. A maximum speed reduction was observed for HeLa cells. The figure is partially adapted from ref. [35]
