The development of graphene-based devices for cell biology research

Graphene has emerged as a new carbon nanoform with great potential in many applications due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. Especially, graphene and its derivatives are also gaining a lot of interest in the biomedical field as new components for biosensors, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. This review presents unique properties of graphene, the bio-effects of graphene and its derivatives, especially their interactions with cells and the development of graphene-based biosensors and nanomedicines for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
