2D nanomaterial for growing cartilage; Wanted: Input on inclusive excellence

News Bulletins Science Highlight: 2D nanomaterials prolong growth factor release to mend cartilage NIBIB-funded researchers have designed a new class of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials that are disc-shaped and flat on the surface, similar to a coin, to aid in treatments for cartilage repair. The surface of the nanomaterial is negatively charged, while in contrast the edges are positively charged. This unique charge arrangement allows the nanomaterials to trap proteins or growth factors, which can be slowly released over time.
