Akhundov National Scientific Research Medical Prophylactic Institute, 8Center for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (LivMedCell), Liv Hospital In this manuscript, we demonstrate the preparation of a biohybrid hydrogel bioink containing graphene for use in peripheral tissue engineering. Using this 3D biohybrid material, the neural differentiation protocol of stem cells is performed. This can be an important step in bringing similar biomaterials to the clinic.

Akhundov National Scientific Research Medical Prophylactic Institute, 9Center for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (LivMedCell), Liv Hospital Here, we aimed to obtain a formulation by dopamine loading of the isolated exosomes of stem cells from Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells. Exosome isolation and characterization, drug loading into the resulting exosomes, and the cytotoxic activity of the developed formulation are described in this protocol.
