Graphene derivative based hydrogels in biomedical applications.

Graphene and its derivatives are widely used in tissue-engineering scaffolds, especially in the form of hydrogels. This is due to their biocompatibility, electrical conductivity, high surface area, and physicochemical versatility. They are also used in tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is suitable for 3D printing applications, and 3D printing makes it possible to construct 3D structures from 2D graphene, which is a revolutionary technology with promising applications in tissue and organ engineering. In this review, the recent literature in which graphene and its derivatives have been used as the major components of hydrogels is summarized. The application of graphene and its derivative-based hydrogels in tissue engineering is described in detail from different perspectives.
