Reference

GFs

Graphene foam

hBMMSCs

GFs promoted osteogenic differentiation without the use of chemical inducers.

[81]

rGO-Collagen hybrid (PADM-rGO)

Reduced Graphene Oxide

rBMMSCs

PADM-rGO promoted the differentiation of MSCs into neural cells after 7 days under neural differentiation condition.

[102]

GC

Graphene

hBMMSCs

The graphene / calcium silicate (GC) composite coating promoted adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and greatly increased the expression of genes involved in differentiation

[94]

HAp

Reduced Graphene Oxide

hMSCs

rGO - coated HA not only significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation capacity of hMSC in osteogenic medium, but also significantly increased differentiation ability in basal medium.

[51]

GO-PEDOT

Reduced Graphene Oxide

hBMMSCs

GO-PEDOT controlled osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs through electrical stimulation.
