A functionalized graphene sheet (FGS), which was prepared by the thermal reduction of graphite oxide, was modified by oxidation with H2O2. Elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that additional oxygen functional groups, either doubly

Devitalization and demineralization processing of biodegradable polymer and extracellular matrix (ECM) hybrid constructs was explored for the effect on the retention of ECM components and construct osteogenicity. Hybrid constructs were generated by seeding osteogenically predifferentiated rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
