Amorphous alumina nanowire array efficiently delivers Ac-DEVD-CHO to inhibit apoptosis of dendritic cells

Abstract: To create an effective well-ordered delivery platform still remains a challenge. Herein we fabricate vertically aligned alumina nanowire arrays via atomic layer deposition templated by carbon nanotubes. Using these arrays, a caspase-3/7 inhibitor was delivered into DC 2.4 cells and blocked apoptosis, as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.
