INFLUENCE OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON THE BUCKLING OF MICROTUBULE BUNDLES IN VISCOELASTIC CYTOPLASM USING NONLOCAL STRAIN GRADIENT THEORY

Influence of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in viscoelastic cytoplasm using nonlocal strain gradient theory

Carbon nanotubes are a new class of microtubule-stabilizing agents since they interact with protein microtubules in living cells, interfering with cell division and inducing apoptosis.In the present work, a modified beam model is developed to investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in living cell.A realisti
