Resumen

Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico para evaluar el uso del grafeno y sus derivados en biotecnología, con énfasis en biosensores e ingeniería de tejidos. Se analizaron un total de 3.151 documentos indexados en Scopus (2010–2024) mediante Bibliometrix y VOSviewer para evaluar la producción científica, las citas, la colaboración internacional y la evolución temática. Los resultados mostraron una tasa de crecimiento anual del 30,98%, con China, Corea del Sur e Irán liderando la producción científica. En el campo de los biosensores, los derivados del grafeno (GO y rGO) se han integrado con nanometales, polímeros y arquitecturas tridimensionales para desarrollar dispositivos sensibles destinados al diagnóstico clínico, el monitoreo ambiental y la seguridad alimentaria. En la ingeniería de tejidos, su combinación con biomateriales como quitosano, colágeno e hidroxiapatita ha mejorado las propiedades mecánicas y bioactivas, favoreciendo la regeneración ósea, cardíaca y neuronal. Entre las tendencias emergentes destacan los materiales híbridos multifuncionales, las tecnologías portátiles, los diagnósticos no invasivos y la bioimpresión 3D.
