Abstract
Graphene possesses a wide range of potential biomedical applications because of the unique physical and chemical properties. However, the side effects of grapheme and its derivatives on a number of biological models even on human body are still not very clear. Therefore, to properly assess the potential risk of grapheme and its derivatives, we summarize the current state of academic knowledge on their toxicity.
Keywords: Biocompatibility, functionalized grapheme, graphene, graphene oxide, reduced grapheme oxide, toxicity.

Interaction between drugs and endocrine diseases
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy accelerated studies and our understanding on the interaction between pharmacological therapies and endocrine diseases. Drugs can precipitate endocrine via different mechanisms, including direct alteration of hormone production and secretion, dysregulation of hormonal axis, effects on hormonal transport, receptor-binding, and cellular signalling. Common drug-induced ...read more
