The possible molecular mechanism of SWCNTs-induced damage in the mouse brain. The SWCNTs-induced damage in the mouse brain occurs through enhancing ROS generation. Oxidative stress then induces cell damage in the brain, whereas treatment with ascorbic acid may protect cells by decreasing oxidative stress. This figure was produced by Xudong Liu. SWCNTs indicates single-walled carbon nanotube; ROS, reactive oxygen species.
