Abstract

The use and interest of graphene-based materials for neural repair is still in its infancy. In the last years, a more and more solid body of work is being published on the ability of these materials to create biocompatible and biofunctional substrates able to promote the in vitro growth of neural cells, often supporting enhanced neural differentiation of stem/progenitor cells. Although in vivo studies with these materials are rare, encouraging pioneer works in the brain and the spinal cord might impulse the research community to translate their potentiality from cell cultures to animal models, a closer scenario for their potential use in human healthcare in the future. In this chapter, we first describe some relevant generalities regarding the nervous tissue and approaches to accomplish neural repair. Then, we expose the literature published to date on the use of graphene-based materials for neural repair and neural-related applications and discuss their potentiality in the field.
