Functionalized Graphene Process in Biotechnology: A Brief Landscape

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Recent studies have shown that the r-GO, a nanomaterial that exhibits high biological compatibility and low toxicity [1], is able to create a temporarily opening in the hemotoencephalic barrier. This barrier is responsible for protecting the central nervous system, strictly selective in the transition of substances that cross and can be deposited in the brain region. Thus, r-GO became an efficient carrier of drugs where other substances it was not previously possible. In this way, the study of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s suffered great impact with the advance of this new area [2].
