Article Synopsis
  • Assisted reproductive technology currently has a low success rate of 30%, and improving the survival of cumulus cells (CCs) could enhance the function of oocytes in infertile women.
  • The study investigated the effects of magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) nanocomposite on the biocompatibility and antioxidant properties of human CCs collected from 37 women.
  • Results indicated that MGO at a concentration of 50 µg/ml increased the viability of CCs and boosted antioxidant protein Nrf2 expression, suggesting potential benefits for in vitro fertilization success.

Objective: Acute liver failure (ALF) is usually associated with inflammation and oxidation of hepatocytes and has high mortality and resource costs. Although mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) has therapeutic effects similar to MSC transplant in treating liver failure, it may not increase survival. On the other hand, graphene-based nanostructures have been proven useful in biomedicine.
