Abstract
Graphene possesses a wide range of potential biomedical applications because of the unique physical and chemical properties. However, the side effects of grapheme and its derivatives on a number of biological models even on human body are still not very clear. Therefore, to properly assess the potential risk of grapheme and its derivatives, we summarize the current state of academic knowledge on their toxicity.
Keywords: Biocompatibility, functionalized grapheme, graphene, graphene oxide, reduced grapheme oxide, toxicity.

Exploring oxidative stress and the anti-oxidant defense system in chronic diseases: therapeutic strategies and future perspective
Ageing is facilitated by oxidative stress (OS), which happens spontaneously. Several studies have demonstrated that OS over an extended period of time has a role in the emergence of several chronic illnesses. Diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are a few examples of these ailments. An imbalance between the body's antioxidants ...read more
Impact of brain tissue binding and plasma protein binding of drugs in DMPK
The impression of brain tissue binding (BTB) or plasma protein binding (PPB) in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics is critical to understanding the distribution, efficacy, and potential toxicity of drugs that target the central nervous system (CNS). BTB and high PPB influence the distribution of drugs in the body and their ...read more
Metabolism-Mediated Xenobiotic Toxicity
Considering the potent modulation of biotransformation enzyme expression and activities by various therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals, and the commonly combined exposure of humans to both drugs and the ever increasing environmental pollutants simultaneously, knowledge about the combined toxic effects by modulating biotransformation enzymes, such as P450s, UDP- glucuronosyltransferases, and ...read more
Safety evaluation of vaccine combination
Vaccine combination safety evaluation is a critical field within immunology and public health that focuses on assessing the safety and efficacy of combining different vaccines to maximize protection against various diseases while minimizing potential adverse effects. This process is significant because it ensures that vaccines can be administered together without ...read more
