Figure 4. Tensions resulting from long nanowires induce deformation of the cell membrane and nuclear membrane. The nuclei, nuclear membrane, and outer cell membrane are labeled as Nuc, M nuc, and M cell, respectively. The cytoplasm is labeled CP, and areas marked with an asterisk refer to DNA-dense. The gold nanoparticles applied to seed nanowire growth were clearly seen (Au), and the nanowires were also visible (NW). The GaP substrate is labeled GaP. Scale bars 1 μm.
