Graphene and its derivatives have shown fascinating potential in biomedical applications. However, the biocompatibility of graphene with vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and applications to vascular engineering have not been explored extensively. Using a rat aortic smooth muscle cell line, A7r5, as a VSMC model, we have explored the effects of graphene oxide (GO) on the growth and behaviours of VSMCs.

In such situations, network meta-analysis (NMA) can inform evidence-based decision-making.
Objective: To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of approved bDMARDs in patients with PsA.
