The nanotubes are filled with plasmid DNA encoding green fluorescence protein (GFP), which are incorporated into mammalian cells that subsequently express GFP (see Figure). The results demonstrate a novel application of nanotubes in biomolecule delivery.AluminaanodicBiomaterialsDNAFluorescence imagingNanotubesinorganicQuantum dots
