Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201400523-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Graphene‐nanofiber hybrid scaffolds</bold> selectively guide the differentiation of neural stem cells into mature oligodendro­cytes, which are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system. Moreover, this process is facilitated without introducing differentiation inducers into the culture media, underscoring the potential of a biomaterials‐approach for neural tissue engineering. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghh50ht37" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
