Additional File 1:

Cell-death induced by localized nanowire heat. Video showing the behavior of marrow stromal cells in the presence of nickel nanowires. The duration of the video corresponds to a period of 18 hours. The medium, initially at 37°C is heated at a rate of around 2°C h-1 which leads to cell death.

Additional File 2:

Cell manipulation: bridging between cells. Video showing marrow stromal cell-to-cell bridging with nickel nanowire magnetic manipulation. The duration of the video corresponds to a period of 1 hour in which cells have been manipulated in cell culture medium at physiological conditions.
