As an important derivative of graphene-based materials, graphene oxide (GO) not only plays an important role not only in optoelectronics and sensing but also in biology due to its unique mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This article reviews the application of GO-based hydrogels in bone tissue engineering. Whether it is a hydrogel synthesized with natural polymer compounds, synthetic polymer chemicals, bioceramics, bioactive factors, or other materials, the addition of GO can significantly improve various properties of the hydrogel. We also introduce some high-performance GO-based hydrogels in this paper, proposing some insights into materials that may be applied to bone tissue engineering in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
