MXene represents a novel class in the realm of two-dimensional materials, composed of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides, which are renowned for their high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and exceptional biocompatibility. These attributes have thrust MXene into the spotlight, especially in the biomedical sector where there is a compelling need for advanced materials. Research in recent years has revealed its potential in applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biosensing, yet there remains a myriad of unexplored facets that could propel MXene to the forefront of biomedical innovation.
This Research Topic aims to catalyze the development of cutting-edge biomedical technologies using MXene. By delving into its multifunctionality and assessing its biocompatibility, the research aspires to unlock new methodologies that could vastly improve clinical treatment outcomes. The goal is to explore the breadth of MXene's applications in the biomedical field, investigating both its established and potential utilities, and evaluating its effectiveness and safety in real-world clinical contexts.
To gather further insights in MXene's application in the biomedical field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
o Applications of MXene in tissue engineering
o MXene in drug delivery systems
o MXene in biosensors
o Antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of MXene
