Graphene foams: Cozy and conductive scaffolds for neural stem cells

Leave a comment

(Phys.org) —Graphene foams have been around now for a couple years. Their widespread application in everything from electronics and energy storage to substitutes for helium in balloons is still greatly anticipated. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Suzhou, and Beijing, have now shown that graphene foams can also be used to craft conductive scaffolds for neural stem cells. Their open paper, published yesterday in Nature’s Scientific Reports, suggests new approaches for neural tissue engineering, and possibly for interfacing with neural prosthetics. …read more
