“Experiments conducted in Brazil using laboratory rats have shown that graphene-based structures can act as a powerful ally in bone regeneration. These structures are made of sheets of the chemical element carbon that are just one atom thick. They can help heal fractures or bone loss. In the tests, the biocompatible matrix containing graphene facilitated nearly 90% repair of the damage sustained by the test subjects one month after the fracture was induced in the laboratory—a superior performance to that of other materials used in the research.”
“The analysis of the performance of the biomaterial was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Daniela Franco Bueno of the Albert Einstein Israeli Faculty of Health Sciences and Guilherme Lenz e Silva of the Engineering School of the University of São Paulo (POLI-USP) coordinated the study.”
"According to Bueno, these results provide a strong indication that this approach will soon be used on human patients. “This technology is in an advanced stage of preclinical development,” she summarizes. “There’s a clear path toward application in clinical trials in the next steps.”
