TL;DR: Graphene oxide is shown to be an effective non-toxic therapeutic strategy for the eradication of cancer stem cells, via differentiation-based nano-therapy and Mechanistically, it is presented evidence that GO exerts its striking effects on CSCs by inhibiting several key signal transduction pathways and thereby inducing CSC differentiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a green method for the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide-gold nanoparticle (rGO-AuNP) hybrids in aqueous solution that exploits the ability of ascorbic acid (AA) to operate as an effective dual agent for both graphene oxide (GO) and gold ion reduction is reported.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that GO coated substrates significantly enhance the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells to both primitive and definitive haematopoietic cells and suggests that further functionalization of GO could represent a valid strategy for the generation of large numbers of functional blood cells.

TL;DR: In this article, a new hybrid nanomaterial which integrates the antibacterial and physico-chemical properties of silver nanoparticles, graphene oxide and chitosan biopolymer is presented.

TL;DR: The addition of water to SLM systems resulted in large-scale reorganization of the lipid structures, with measurable effects on lipid lateral mobility within the supported membranes, and insight into the molecular effects of graphene and graphene oxide surfaces on lipid bilayer membranes is provided.
