Abstract :
Graphene- and graphene oxide-based nanomaterials have gained broad interests in research because of their unique physiochemical
properties. The 2D allotropic structure allows it to be used in various biological fields. The biomedical applications
of graphene and its composite include its use in gene and small molecular drug delivery. It is further used for biofunctionalization
of protein, in anticancer therapy, as an antimicrobial agent for bone and teeth implantation. The biocompatibility
of the newly synthesized nanomaterials allows its substantial use in medicine and biology. The current review summarizes
the chemical structure and biological application of graphene in various fields.
