Andreea Madalina Pandele,Mariana Ionita,Livia Elena Crica,Sorina Dinescu,Marieta Costache,Horia Iovu +5 more
TL;DR: The cell viability and proliferation results showed that MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblastic cells can adhere and developed and developed on the CS-PVA/GO composite films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene and functionalized graphene: Extraordinary prospects for nanobiocomposite materials
Mariana Ioniţă,George Mihail Vlăsceanu,Aiza Andreea Watzlawek,Stefan Ioan Voicu,Jorge S. Burns,Horia Iovu +5 more
TL;DR: Graphene functionalization methods are described and recent examples of how graphene can be used to achieve biological interactions with innovative outcomes are provided to contribute to an incrementally improved understanding of how different forms of graphene and its derivatives can best be tailored to meet biological demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro cytocompatibility evaluation of chitosan/graphene oxide 3D scaffold composites designed for bone tissue engineering
Sorina Dinescu,Mariana Ionita,Andreea Madalina Pandele,Bianca Galateanu,Horia Iovu,Aurel Ardelean,Marieta Costache,Anca Hermenean +7 more
TL;DR: Overall results show that the addition of GO in the scaffold's composition improved mechanical properties and pore formation and enhanced the bioactivity of the scaffolding material for tissue engineering.
