Molecular origin of enhanced cell behaviors on graphene nanomaterial-coated substrates. (a,b) Different binding interactions of graphene and GO with serum and insulin. (c) Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs after 12 days of incubation on PDMS (i) with induction and (ii) without induction, on graphene (iii) with induction and (iv) without induction and on GO (v) with induction (vi) and without induction. Scale bars are 200 μm. (d) Adipogenic differentiation of MSCs after 14 days of induction on PDMS (i) with induction and (ii) without induction, on graphene (i) with induction and (ii) without induction and on GO (i) with induction and (ii) without induction. Scale bars are 50 μm. Reproduced with permission from [29]. Copyright American Chemical Society, 2011.
