Solute Carriers (SLC) superfamily is one of the most important membrane transporter families in the cell membrane (including intracellular membrane) of human,it is involved in some essential physiological functions such as intercellular substance transporting,energy transfer,nutrition and metabolism,signal transduction and so on.Solute Carriers (SLC) superfamily contains 52 subfamilies,with more than 400 members.Studies have shown that abnormal protein expression or functional defects of SLC caused by human genetic mutations are closely related with a variety of serious diseases such as diabetes,hypertension and depression,so the function research of SLC had attracted much attention in recent years.The known three-dimensional structures of SLC transporters help to explain the precise molecular mechanism of substrate binding and transporting,it provides a fine structure basis to study the molecular mechanism of related diseases and structure-based drug discovery.In this review,we summarized the progress on the structure and function of SLC superfamily transporters of late years,try to provide some common rules of SLC superfamily transporters.

Graphene derivatives are the new bioactive material with good physical and chemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. It has been found that graphene derivatives can improve the mechanical properties of biomaterials and promote the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast-related cells, so as to promote implant-bone bonding and repair of bone defects. This makes it a research hotpot in the field of bone tissue regeneration. In this paper, the mechanism of graphene derivatives promoting bone regeneration and their application in the oral field were reviewed, so as to provide theoretical basis for their application in basic and clinical research.
