Abstract

This review paper unravels a number of novel applications of nanotechnology-based graphene oxide in bioengineering. Graphene oxide is the chemically modified version of graphene. It possesses many properties which include having a large surface area and high mechanical strength with excellent potential for functionalization. Hence, GO has become an attractive material in numerous applications in bioengineering. This paper discusses in-depth its applications in five of the most important areas of bioengineering, which include tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, biosensors, orthopedic implants, and bioimaging based on GO’s structure and properties. GO promotes an improvement of scaffold properties and differentiation of stem cells in tissue engineering. GO shows high loading capacity as well as controlled mechanisms of release in drug delivery. Due to its properties, GO can enable highly sensitive and specific biosensing. Another such area wherein GO also shows promise in improving orthopedic implant integration and performance. Finally, in bioimaging, GO’s optical properties make it suitable for various imaging techniques. The application of GO in all these areas holds much promise but carries challenges and considerations such as toxicity and long-term biocompatibility. The paper concludes by discussing how GO is transformative in bioengineering and the importance of ongoing research, hence unlocking the full healthcare benefits of its applications in medical technology.
