Graphene, a truly two-dimensional (2D) and fully π-conjugated honeycomb network, exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties that are interesting in a wide range of areas. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been extensively studied in many different fields including nano-electronics, composite materials, energy research, catalysis and so on. Based on the fascinating action of members in the carbon family, notably zero dimensional (0D) fullerenes and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in biomedical areas, increasing number of reports have explored the potential of graphene for different biomedical and biotechnical applications since 2008. This manuscript aims to provide a summary of current research progress of graphene-based carbon materials in biosensing, drug (gene) delivery and tissue engineering, and discusses the opportunities and challenges in this rapidly growing field.
石墨烯是一种真正的二维（2D）和完全π共轭的蜂窝状网络，具有许多独特的物理和化学性质，在广泛的领域中都很有趣。自 2004 年发现以来，石墨烯已在许多不同的领域得到了广泛的研究，包括纳米电子学、复合材料、能源研究、催化等。基于碳家族成员的迷人作用，特别是零维（0D）富勒烯和一维（1D）碳纳米管（CNTs）在生物医学领域的作用，自 2008 年以来，越来越多的报道探索了石墨烯在不同的生物医学和生物技术应用中的潜力。本文旨在综述基于石墨烯的碳材料在生物传感、药物（基因）传递和组织工程中的研究进展，并讨论该快速发展领域中的机遇和挑战。
