Graphene-based papers as substrates for cell growth: Characterisation and impact on mammalian cells
FlatChem, 2018:112:17-25 Jasim, D, Lozano, N, Bussy, C., Barbolina, I, Rodrigues, A, Novoselov, K & Kostarelos, K Graphene based material (GBM) substrates are promising candidates for tissue engineering and as cell scaffolds owing to their outstanding properties that favour cell adhesion and growth. In this study, we report the fabrication…
Controlled Electrodeposition of Gold on Graphene: Maximisation of the Defect-Enhanced Raman Scattering Response
Small, 2019, May;1901555 Dryfe, R, Ananthoju, B, Theis, W & Biroju, R A reliable method to prepare a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate is developed herein, by electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on defect‐engineered, large area chemical vapour deposition graphene (GR). A plasma treatment strategy is used in…
Electrically controlled water permeation through graphene oxide membranes
Nature, 2018 Jul;559(7713):236-240 Zhou KG, Vasu KS, Cherian CT, Neek-Amal M, Zhang JC, Ghorbanfekr-Kalashami H, Huang K, Marshall OP, Kravets VG, Abraham J, Su Y, Grigorenko AN, Pratt A, Geim AK, Peeters FM, Novoselov KS, Nair RR Controlled transport of water molecules through membranes and capillaries is important in areas as diverse as water purification and healthcare technologies.

Translating graphene and 2D materials into medicine
Nature Reviews Materials, 2016; 1:16084 Kostas Kostarelos Adoption of graphene and other 2D crystals in biomedicine is challenging — some guidelines to facilitate this process and avoid inflated expectations should be considered. Advanced materials are key contributors to the development of next-generation medical technologies. The advent of carbon-based nanostructures and 2D materials…
