Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470146-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>By combining the unique properties of nanofibers and graphene‐based nanomaterials in a single biocompatible scaffold, K.‐B. Lee and co‐workers report the selective differentiation of stem cells into mature oligodendrocytes on page 3673. Given the role of oligodendrocytes in myelinating the axon of a neuron, these graphene‐nanofiber hybrid scaffolds may prove to be useful in treating injuries and diseases of the central nervous system. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghh50hq49" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
