“…Park et al fi rstly proposed that graphene could upregulate the expressions of cardiomyogenic genes of MSCs and found that graphene promoted MSCs differentiate into the cardiomyogenic lineage without any exogenous chemical inducers. [ 156 ] The enhanced cardiomyogenic differentiation of MSCs cultured on graphene might be due to the upregulation of cell signaling molecules and gene expressions of ECM proteins. This fi nding indicated that graphene-based materials might be a novel platform for the cardiomyogenic differentiation of MSCs.…”

Graphene possesses many unique properties such as two-dimensional planar structure, super conductivity, chemical and mechanical stability, large surface area, and good biocompatibility. In the past few years, graphene-based materials have risen as a shining star on the path of researchers seeking new materials for future regenerative medicine. Herein, the recent research advances made in graphene-based materials mostly utilizing the mechanical and electrical properties of graphene are described. The most exciting findings addressing the impact of graphene-based materials on regenerative medicine are highlighted, with particular emphasis on their applications including nerve, bone, cartilage, skeletal muscle, cardiac, skin, adipose tissue regeneration, and their effects on the induced pluripotent stem cells. Future perspectives and emerging challenges are also addressed in this Review article.

“…More recently, carbon nanomaterials such as CNT and graphene have been demonstrated to favor the attachment and cardiomyogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. [30][31][32] In addition, Notes: (A-C) Western blot showed activated β1-integrin protein expression in Bascs cultured on cNT-col scaffolds was twofold higher than those cultured on col scaffolds at day 7, while all β1-integrin remained roughly constant in these two groups. (D and E) Western blotting revealed the anti-β1-integrin antibody blocked the increase of α-actinin in the cNT-col group, while no apparent changes of α-actinin showed in Bascs grown in the control group.…”

Stem cell-based therapy remains one of the promising approaches for cardiac repair and regeneration. However, its applications are restricted by the limited efficacy of cardiac differentiation. To address this issue, we examined whether carbon nanotubes (CNTs) would provide an instructive extracellular microenvironment to facilitate cardiogenesis in brown adipose-derived stem cells (BASCs) and to elucidate the underlying signaling pathways. In this study, we systematically investigated a series of cellular responses of BASCs due to the incorporation of CNTs into collagen (CNT-Col) substrates that promoted cell adhesion, spreading, and growth. Moreover, we found that CNT-Col substrates remarkably improved the efficiency of BASCs cardiogenesis by using fluorescence staining and quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Critically, CNTs in the substrates accelerated the maturation of BASCs-derived cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism for promotion of BASCs cardiac differentiation by CNTs was determined by immunostaining, quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting assay. It is notable that β1-integrin-dependent TGF-β1 signaling pathway modulates the facilitative effect of CNTs in cardiac differentiation of BASCs. Therefore, it is an efficient approach to regulate cardiac differentiation of BASCs by the incorporation of CNTs into the native matrix. Importantly, our findings can not only facilitate the mechanistic understanding of molecular events initiating cardiac differentiation in stem cells, but also offer a potentially safer source for cardiac regenerative medicine.
