                         carbon nanotube (VACNT) scaffolds compared to raw-VACNT. 
                         Biocompatibility in vitro tests were performed on raw-VACNT after 
                         superficial modification by oxygen plasma, which changes its 
                         superhydrophobic character to superhydrophilic. Two 
                         cytocompatibility tests were applied: 1) total lactate 
                         dehydrogenase colorimetric assay for the study of proliferating 
                         cells; and 2) cellular adhesion by scanning electron microscopy. 
                         Results showed that superhydrophilic VACNT scaffolds stimulate 
                         cell growth with proliferation up to 70% higher than normal growth
