Graphene: an emerging material for biological tissue engineering
관리자2013-06-10조회 4176
Graphene, a carbon crystal sheet of molecular thickness, shows diverse and exceptional
properties ranging from electrical and thermal conductivities, to optical and mechanical
qualities. Thus, its potential applications include not only physicochemical materials but
also extends to biological uses. Here, we review recent experimental studies about graphene
for such bioapplications. As a prerequisite to the search to determine the potential of graphene
for bioapplications, the essential qualities of graphene that support biocompatibility,
were briefly summarized. Then, direct examples of tissue regeneration and tissue engineering
utilizing graphenes, were discussed, including uses for cell scaffolds, cell modulating
interfaces, drug delivery, and neural interfaces.
