Growing electrically stimulated Schwann-like cells on printed graphene: an interview with Jonathan Claussen and Surya Mallapragada

In this interview, Jonathan Claussen and Surya Mallapragada discuss their collaboration that led to the development of inkjet-printed graphene that electrically stimulates the growth of stem cells. In this interview, Jonathan Claussen and Surya Mallapragada (Iowa State University; IA, USA) discuss the challenges of differentiating Schwann-like cells from bone marrow-derived stem cells and explain how they developed an inkjet-printed graphene that provides electrical stimulate to encourage the cells to grow. Jonathan Claussen Jonathan Claussen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University. His research focuses on understanding/developing science and technology that interfaces with biology...
