Reduced graphene oxide-nanocrystalline platinum (RGO-Pt) hybrid materials were
synthesized by simultaneous co-reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and chloroplatinic acid …

To move forward, migrating cells must generate traction forces through surface receptors
bound to extracellular matrix molecules coupled to a rigid structure. We investigated whether …

The influence of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on human HEK293 cells is
investigated with the aim of exploring SWCNTs biocompatibility. Results showed that …

In this review, we discuss the structure and function of the extracellular matrix protein family
