A paper entitled “The use of carbon nanotubes to induce osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived MSCs in vitro and ectopic bone formation in vivo” by researchers from the School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering was published in Biomaterials. This paper reports that carbon nanotubes (CNTS) can be used as a novel bone repair material in clinical practice by adsorbing large amounts of specific proteins to promote the differentiation of cells into osteoblasts.
