Abstract

Fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with good biocompatibility have great potential applications in biomedical areas. P. R. Gil, H. Liu, and co-workers' investigation of the interactions between GQDs and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is presented on page 702. When exposed to MSCs, GQDs can be ingested by MSCs and within a certain concentration range GQDs have no significant influence on self-renewal potential of MSCs, but even promote and enhance their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation at the level of mRNA and protein expression.
