The systemic administration of graphene nanoribbons for a variety of in vivo biomedical applications will result in their interaction with cellular and protein components of the circulatory system. The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro effects of graphene nanoribbons (O-GNR) noncovalently functionalized with PEG-DSPE (1, 2-distearoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine- N [amino (polyethylene glycol)]) on some of the key hematological and vascular components of the circulatory system.
