(a, b) Turnstile-like VGNs and maze-like VGNs, respectively. Reproduced with permission from [191]; (c) efficient tumor ablation in mice using PEG-graphene nanosheets where the best tumor ablation occurred in the mice injected with PEG-graphene nanosheets and laser treated (indicated by the yellow star). Reproduced with permission from [192]; (d) graphene as a biomolecular recognition element in SPR sensor. Reproduced with permission from [189]; (e) use of graphene oxide as a drug delivery vehicle for anticancer drug DOX. Reproduced with permission from [193]; (f) use of graphene in FRET-based sensor, specifically for detecting IgE; reproduced with permission from [194].
