Fluorinated Graphene for Promoting Neuro-Induction of Stem Cells

Surface engineering of substrates offers the possibility of controlling the physiological functions of cells at the molecular level. Fluorinated graphene promotes the differentiation of MSCs towards neuronal lineages. Cell alignment using printed polydimethylsiloxane channel arrays on fluorinated graphene further enhances the neuro-induction of MSCs even in the absence of chemical inducers.
