Rodriguez-Losada, NoelaAguirre, Jose A2023-01-252023-01-252017Rodriguez-Losada N, Aguirre JA. The impact of graphene on neural regenerative medicine. Neural Regen Res. 2017;12(7):1071-1072.1673-5374http://hdl.handle.net/10668/11540There is increasing interest in studying carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) for use in regenerative medicine. Some carbon crystalline structures, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes/nanofibers, boron nitride nanosheets/nanotubes and fullerenes, as well as disordered structures, such as diamond-like carbon, glass-like carbon, and amorphous carbon, are now being considered as promising scaffolds (Ferreira et al., 2015; Kabiri et al., 2015), and therefore, studies of their biocompatibilities have begun to be reported in recent years. There are recent examples of the successful use of graphene-based substrates as interfaces for neuronal growth while retaining neuronal signaling properties without alteration (Fabbro et al., 2015) or as a bioscaffold for neuronal regeneration after spinal cord injury (Palejwala et al., 2016); nevertheless, the potential of CBNs as a neural interfacing material for neural repair and regeneration remains poorly understood.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/Carbon-based nanomaterialsBiocompatibilityScaffoldsNeuronal regenerationNeural interfacingNanotubes, CarbonFullerenesRegenerative MedicineGraphiteboron nitrideNanofibersNanostructuresPerspective28852385open accessCarbonoGrafitoNanotubosNanotubos de CarbonoTraumatismos de la Médula EspinalNanoestructurasNanofibrasFulerenos10.4103/1673-5374.211181PMC5558482https://doi.org/10.4103/1673-5374.211181https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5558482/pdf
