[PMID: 39121886 DOI: 10.1088/1748-605x/ad6dc9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Porous poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/Icaritin (PLGA/β-TCP/ICT, PTI) scaffold is a tissue engineering scaffold based on PLGA/β-TCP (PT) containing Icaritin, the main active ingredient of the Chinese medicine Epimedium. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and osteogenic effect, PTI scaffold has the potential to promote bone defect repair. However, the release of ICT from the scaffolds is difficult to control. In this study, we constructed Ti3C2Tx@PLGA/ICT microspheres (TIM) and evaluated their characterization as well as ICT release under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. We utilized TIM to modify the PT scaffold and performed biological experiments. First, we cultured rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on the scaffold to assess biocompatibility and osteogenic potential under on-demand NIR irradiation. Subsequently, to evaluate the osteogenic properties of TIM-modified scaffoldin vivo, the scaffold was implanted into a femoral condyle defect model. TIM have excellent drug-loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency for ICT, and the incorporation of Ti3C2Txendows TIM with photothermal conversion capability. Under 0.90 W cm-2NIR irradiation, the temperature of TIM maintained at 42.0 ± 0.5 °C and the release of ICT was accelerated. Furthermore, while retaining its original properties, the TIM-modified scaffold was biocompatible and could promote cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and biomineralizationin vitro, as well as the osteogenesis and osseointegrationin vivo, and its effect was further enhanced through the modulation of ICT release under NIR irradiation. In summary, TIM-modified scaffold has the potential to be applied in bone defects repairing.

Abstract
As p-type phase-change degenerate semiconductors, crystalline and amorphous germanium telluride (GeTe) exhibit metallic and semiconducting properties, respectively. However, the massive structural defects and strong interface scattering in amorphous GeTe films significantly reduce their performance. In this work, two-dimensional (2D) p-type GeTe nanosheets are synthesized via a specially designed space-confined chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, with the thickness of the GeTe nanosheets reduced to 1.9 nm. The space-confined CVD method improves the crystallinity of ultrathin GeTe by lowering the partial pressure of the reactant gas, resulting in GeTe nanosheets with excellent p-type semiconductor properties, such as a satisfactory on/off ratio of 105. Temperature-dependent electrical measurements demonstrate that variable-range hopping and optical-phonon-assisted hopping mechanisms dominate transport behavior at low and high temperatures, respectively. GeTe devices exhibit significantly high responsivity (6589 and 2.2 A W-1 at 633 and 980 nm, respectively) and detectivity (1.67 × 1011 and 1.3 × 108 Jones at 633 and 980 nm, respectively), making them feasible for broadband photodetectors in the visible to near-infrared range. Furthermore, the fabricated GeTe/WS2 diode exhibits a rectification ratio of 103 at zero gate voltage. These satisfactory p-type semiconductor properties demonstrate that ultrathin GeTe exhibits enormous potential for applications in optoelectronic interconnection circuits.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted much attention due to its less invasive, controllable and highly effective nature. However, PTT also suffers from intrinsic cancer resistance mediated by cell survival pathways. These survival pathways are regulated by a variety of proteins, among which heat shock protein (HSP) triggers thermotolerance and protects tumor cells from hyperthermia-induced apoptosis. Confronted by this challenge, we propose and validate here a novel MXene-based HSP-inhibited mild photothermal platform, which significantly enhances the sensitivity of tumor cells to heat-induced stress and thus improves the PPT efficacy. The Ti3C2@Qu nanocomposites are constructed by utilizing the high photothermal conversion ability of Ti3C2 nanosheets in combination with quercetin (Qu) as an inhibitor of HSP70. Qu molecules are loaded onto the nanoplatform in a pH-sensitive controlled release manner. The acidic environment of the tumor causes the burst-release of Qu molecules, which deplete the level of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in tumor cells and leave the tumor cells out from the protection of the heat-resistant survival pathway in advance, thus sensitizing the hyperthermia efficacy. The nanostructure, photothermal properties, pH-responsive controlled release, synergistic photothermal ablation of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and hyperthermia effect on subcellular structures of the Ti3C2@Qu nanocomposites were systematically investigated.

Abstract
There is a growing and urgent need for developing novel biomaterials and therapeutic approaches for efficient wound healing. Microneedles (MNs), which can penetrate necrotic tissues and biofilm barriers at the wound and deliver active ingredients to the deeper layers in a minimally invasive and painless manner, have stimulated the interests of many researchers in the wound-healing filed. Among various materials, polymeric MNs have received widespread attention due to their abundant material sources, simple and inexpensive manufacturing methods, excellent biocompatibility and adjustable mechanical strength. Meanwhile, due to the unique properties of nanomaterials, the incorporation of nanomaterials can further extend the application range of polymeric MNs to facilitate on-demand drug release and activate specific therapeutic effects in combination with other therapies. In this review, we firstly introduce the current status and challenges of wound healing, and then outline the advantages and classification of MNs. Next, we focus on the manufacturing methods of polymeric MNs and the different raw materials used for their production. Furthermore, we give a summary of polymeric MNs incorporated with several common nanomaterials for chronic wounds healing. Finally, we discuss the several challenges and future prospects of transdermal drug delivery systems using nanomaterials-based polymeric MNs in wound treatment application.

Abstract
MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) transition metal-based carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides that are synthesized from its precursor MAX phase. The selective etching of the "A" from the MAX phase yields multi-functional MXenes that hold promise in a wide range of energy-based applications and biomedical applications. Based on its intended application, MXenes are prepared as multilayered sheets, monolayer flakes, and quantum dots. Conventionally, MXenes are prepared using hydrofluoric (HF) acid etching; however, the use of HF impedes its effective use in biomedical applications. This calls for the use of nontoxic HF-free synthesis protocols to prepare MXenes safe for biological use. Therefore, we have discussed a facile process to synthesize biocompatible, HF-free MXene nanosheets and quantum dots.

Abstract
Humidity sensors play a critical role in monitoring human activities, environmental health, food processing and storage, and many other fields. Recently, some 2D materials, particularly MXenes, have been considered as promising candidates for creating humidity sensors because of their high surface area, surface-to-bulk ratio, and excellent conductivity, arising from the high concentration and mobility of free electrons. In this work, we propose the plasmon-assisted surface modification and termination tuning of common MXene (Ti3C2Tx) to enhance their response to humidity and increase their stability against oxidation. Hydrophobic (-C6H4-CF3) and hydrophilic (-C6H4-COOH) chemical moieties were covalently grafted to the Ti3C2Tx surface using plasmon-mediated diazonium chemistry. In situ Grazing-Incidence Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (GIWAXS) measurements, performed at different humidity levels indicate that surface modification significantly affects penetration of water molecules in Ti3C2Tx films. As a result, the sensitivity of the flakes to the presence of water molecules was significantly altered. Additionally, proposed surface grafting commonly proceeds on the less stable MXene surface sites, where flake oxidation commonly initiates. As a result of the modification, such "weak" and more chemically active sites were blocked and Ti3C2Tx stability was significantly enhanced.

Abstract
MXenes and graphene are two-dimensional materials that have gained increasing attention in neuroscience, particularly in sensing, theranostics, and biomedical engineering. Various composites of graphene and MXenes with fascinating thermal, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and electrical properties have been introduced to develop advanced nanosystems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as exemplified in the case of biosensors for neurotransmitter detection. These biosensors display high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, making them promising tools for neuroscience research. MXenes have been employed to create high-resolution neural interfaces for neuroelectronic devices, develop neuro-receptor-mediated synapse devices, and stimulate the electrophysiological maturation of neural circuits. On the other hand, graphene/derivatives exhibit therapeutic applicability in neuroscience, as exemplified in the case of graphene oxide for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. While MXenes and graphene have potential benefits in neuroscience, there are also challenges/limitations associated with their use, such as toxicity, environmental impacts, and limited understanding of their properties. In addition, large-scale production and commercialization as well as optimization of reaction/synthesis conditions and clinical translation studies are very important aspects. Thus, it is important to consider the use of these materials in neuroscience research and conduct further research to obtain an in-depth understanding of their properties and potential applications. By addressing issues related to biocompatibility, long-term stability, targeted delivery, electrical interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, MXenes and graphene have the potential to greatly advance the field of neuroscience and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for neurological disorders. Herein, recent advances in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of graphene- and MXene-based materials in neuroscience are discussed, focusing on important challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
With the promotion of nanochemistry research, large numbers of nanomaterials have been applied in vivo to produce desirable cytotoxic substances in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli for achieving disease-specific therapy. However, the performance of nanomaterials is a critical issue that is difficult to improve and optimize under biological conditions. Defect-engineered nanoparticles have become the most researched hot materials in biomedical applications recently due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as optical properties and redox reaction capabilities. Importantly, the properties of nanomaterials can be easily adjusted by regulating the type and concentration of defects in the nanoparticles without requiring other complex designs. Therefore, this tutorial review focuses on biomedical defect engineering and briefly discusses defect classification, introduction strategies, and characterization techniques. Several representative defective nanomaterials are especially discussed in order to reveal the relationship between defects and properties. A series of disease treatment strategies based on defective engineered nanomaterials are summarized. By summarizing the design and application of defective engineered nanomaterials, a simple but effective methodology is provided for researchers to design and improve the therapeutic effects of nanomaterial-based therapeutic platforms from a materials science perspective.

Abstract
MXene QDs (MQDs) have been effectively used in several fields of biomedical research. Considering the role of hyperactivation of immune system in infectious diseases, especially in COVID-19, MQDs stand as a potential candidate as a nanotherapeutic against viral infections. However, the efficacy of MQDs against SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been tested yet. In this study, Ti3 C2 MQDs are synthesized and their potential in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 infection is investigated. Physicochemical characterization suggests that MQDs are enriched with abundance of bioactive functional groups such as oxygen, hydrogen, fluorine, and chlorine groups as well as surface titanium oxides. The efficacy of MQDs is tested in VeroE6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. These data demonstrate that the treatment with MQDs is able to mitigate multiplication of virus particles, only at very low doses such as 0,15 µg mL-1 . Furthermore, to understand the mechanisms of MQD-mediated anti-COVID properties, global proteomics analysis are performed and determined differentially expressed proteins between MQD-treated and untreated cells. Data reveal that MQDs interfere with the viral life cycle through different mechanisms including the Ca2 + signaling pathway, IFN-α response, virus internalization, replication, and translation. These findings suggest that MQDs can be employed to develop future immunoengineering-based nanotherapeutics strategies against SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections.

Abstract
The photo-stimulus response has the advantage of non-invasiveness, which could be used to control the "on" and "off" of drug release achieving on-demand release. Herein, we design a heating electrospray during electrospinning to prepare photo-stimulus response composite nanofibers consisting of MXene@Hydrogel. This heating electrospray enables to spray MXene@Hydrogel during the electrospinning process, and the hydrogel is uniformly distributed which cannot be achieved by the traditional soaking method. In addition, this heating electrospray can also overcome the difficulty that hydrogels are hard to be uniformly distributed in the inner fiber membrane.The "on" and "off" state of drug release could be controlled by light. Not only near infrared (NIR) light but also sunlight could trigger the drug release, which could benefit outdoor use when cannot find NIR light. Evidence by hydrogen bond has been formed between MXene and Hydrogel, the mechanical property of MXene@Hydrogel composite nanofibers is significantly enhanced, which is conducive to the application of human joints and other parts that need to move. These nanofibers also possess fluorescence property, which is further used to real-time monitor the in-vivo drug release. No matter the fast or slow release, this nanofiber can achieve sensitive detection, which is superior to the current absorbance spectrum method.

Abstract
Spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) are new magnetic zero-bandgap materials whose band structure is extremely sensitive to external influences (pressure or magnetic fields) and have great potential for high-speed and low-energy spintronics applications. The first-principles method was used to systematically study the heterostructures constructed of an asymmetric surface-functionalized Janus MXene material, Cr2NOF, and a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice (2DH) semiconductor material and to study the effects of the electronic structure, Curie temperature, magnetism, and the design of unusual band structures and magnetic injection in the bilayer to obtain an SGS structure. Through the design and construction of Cr2NOF/2DH van der Waals heterojunction spintronic devices, the spin-filtering effect of the devices can reach 100%, especially, realizing spin gating through magnetic injection. We report the transport mechanism of the heterojunction spintronic devices to achieve the goal of a controllable optimization of the device functions, which provides a theoretical basis for the design of MXene van der Waals heterojunctions for high-efficiency and low-power-consumption spintronic devices.

Abstract
Residual Dipolar Coupling (RDC), acquired relying on weakly alignment media, is highly valuable for the structural elucidation of organic molecules. Arising from the striking features of no background signals and low critical concentrations, two-dimensional (2D) liquid crystals (LCs) show the clear advantages of acting as alignment media to measure RDCs. So far, creating multisolvent compatible 2D LC media through a simple and versatile method is still formidably challenging. Herein, we report the rapid creation of aligned media based on the Ti3C2Tx MXene, which self-aligned in multiple co-solvents including CH3OH-H2O, DMSO-H2O, DMF-H2O, and acetone-H2O. We demonstrated the applicability of these aligned media for the RDC measurement of small organic molecules with different polarities and solubilities. Notably, Ti3C2Tx MXene LCs without chemical modification enabled RDC measurements on aromatic molecules. The straightforward preparation of Ti3C2Tx media and its compatibility with multiple solvents will push RDC measurement as a routine methodology for structural elucidation. It may also facilitate the investigation of solvation effects on conformational dynamics.

Abstract
Surface modification is a promising method to change the surface properties of nanomaterials, but it is limited in enhancing their intrinsic redox nature. In this work, a "filter amplifier" strategy is proposed for the first time to reverse the intrinsic redox nature of materials. This is demonstrated by coating a COF-316 layer with controlled thickness on TiO2 to form core-sheath nanowire arrays. This unique structure forms a Z-scheme heterojunction to function as "a filter amplifier" which can conceal the intrinsic oxidative sites and increase the extrinsic reductive sites. Consequently, the selective response of TiO2 is dramatically reversed from reductive ethanol and methanol to oxidative NO2. Moreover, TiO2@COF-316 provides remarkably improved sensitivity, response, and recovery speed, as well as unusual anti-humidity properties as compared with TiO2. This work not only provides a new strategy to rationally modulate the surface chemistry properties of nanomaterials but also opens an avenue to design high-performance electronic devices with a Z-scheme heterojunction.

Abstract
The bone defects caused by trauma are inevitably accompanied by soft tissue damage. The development of multifunctional bioactive biomaterials with integrated bone and soft tissue regeneration is necessary and needed urgently in orthopedics. In this work, we found that the photoactivated MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheet showed positive effects on promoting both bone and soft tissue regeneration. We further investigated the detailed effect and potential mechanism of photoactivated MXene on tissue regeneration. Photoactivated MXene shows a good thermal effect and robust antibacterial activity to inhibit the expression of inflammation factors and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and induces the expression of pro-angiogenic factors and soft tissue wound repair. Photoactivated MXene can also regulate the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) through the ERK signaling pathway by activating the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and enhancing the repair of bone tissue. This work sheds light on the development of bioactive MXene with photothermal activation as an efficient strategy for bone and soft tissue regeneration simultaneously.

Abstract
The rapid healing and repair of skin wounds has been receiving much clinical attention. Covering the wound with wound dressing to promote wound healing is currently the main treatment for skin wound repair. However, the performance of wound dressing prepared by a single material is limited and cannot meet the requirements of complex conditions for wound healing. MXene is a new two-dimensional material with electrical conductivity, antibacterial and photothermal properties and other physical and biological properties, which has a wide range of applications in the field of biomedicine. Based on the pathophysiological process of wound healing and the properties of ideal wound dressing, this review will introduce the preparation and modification methods of MXene, systematically summarize and review the application status and mechanism of MXene in skin wound healing, and provide guidance for subsequent researchers to further apply MXene in the design of skin wound dressing.

Abstract
Gas sensing properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials are derived from charge transfer between the analyte and surface functional groups. However, for sensing films consisting of 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets, the precise control of surface functional groups for achieving optimal gas sensing performance and the associate mechanism are still far from well understood. Herein, we present a functional group engineering strategy based on plasma exposure for optimizing the gas sensing performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene. For performance assessment and sensing mechanism elucidation, we synthesize few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene through liquid exfoliation and then graft functional groups via in situ plasma treatment. Functionalized Ti3C2Tx MXene with large amounts of -O functional groups shows NO2 sensing properties that are unprecedented among MXene-based gas sensors. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that -O functional groups are associated with increased NO2 adsorption energy, thereby enhancing charge transport. The -O functionalized Ti3C2Tx sensor shows a record-breaking response of 13.8% toward 10 ppm NO2, good selectivity, and long-term stability at room temperature. The proposed technique is also capable of improving selectivity, a well-known challenge in chemoresistive gas sensing. This work paves the way to the possibility of using plasma grafting for precise functionalization of MXene surfaces toward practical realization of electronic devices.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2205947. [PMID: 36541728 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202205947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The Ti3 C2 Tx film with metallic conductivity and high pseudo-capacitance holds profound promise in flexible high-rate supercapacitors. However, the restacking of Ti3 C2 Tx sheets hinders ion access to thick film electrodes. Herein, a mild yet green route has been developed to partially oxidize Ti3 C2 Tx to TiO2 /Ti3 C2 Tx by introducing O2 molecules during refluxing the Ti3 C2 Tx suspension. The subsequent etching away of these TiO2 nanoparticles by HF leaves behind numerous in-plane nanopores on the Ti3 C2 Tx sheets. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that longer oxidation time of 40 min yields holey Ti3 C2 Tx (H-Ti3 C2 Tx ) with a much shorter relax time constant of 0.85 s at electrode thickness of 25 µm, which is 89 times smaller than that of the pristineTi3 C2 Tx film (75.58 s). Meanwhile, H-Ti3 C2 Tx film with 25 min oxidation exhibits less-dependent capacitive performance in film thickness range of 10-84 µm (1.63-6.41 mg cm-2 ) and maintains around 60% capacitance as the current density increases from 1 to 50 A g-1 . The findings clearly demonstrate that in-plane nanopores not only provide more electrochemically active sites, but also offer numerous pathways for rapid ion impregnation across the thick Ti3 C2 Tx film. The method reported herein would pave way for fabricating porous MXene materials toward high-rate flexible supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Incurable bacterial infection and intractable multidrug resistance remain critical challenges in public health. A prevalent approach against bacterial infection is phototherapy including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, which is unfortunately limited by low penetration depth of light accompanied with inevitable hyperthermia and phototoxicity damaging healthy tissues. Thus, eco-friendly strategy with biocompatibility and high antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria is urgently desired. Herein, we propose and develop an oxygen-vacancy-rich MoOxin situ on fluorine-free Mo2C MXene with unique neural-network-like structure, namely MoOx@Mo2C nanonetworks, in which their desirable antibacterial effectiveness originates from bacteria-capturing ability and robust reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under precise ultrasound (US) irradiation. The high-performance, broad-spectrum microbicidal activity of MoOx@Mo2C nanonetworks without damaging normal tissues is validated based on systematic in vitro and in vivo assessments. Additionally, RNA sequencing analysis illuminates that the underlying bactericidal mechanism is attributed to the chaotic homeostasis and disruptive peptide metabolisms on bacteria instigated by MoOx@Mo2C nanonetworks under US stimulation. Considering antibacterial efficiency and a high degree of biosafety, we envision that the MoOx@Mo2C nanonetworks can serve as a distinct antimicrobial nanosystem to fight against diverse pathogenic bacteria, especially eradicating multidrug-resistant bacteria-induced deep tissue infection.

Abstract
Rapid and effective bone defect repair remains a challenging issue for clinical treatment. Applying biomaterials with endogenous surface potential has been widely studied to enhance bone regeneration, but how to regulate the electric potential and surface morphology of the implanted materials precisely to achieve an optimal bioelectric microenvironment is still a major challenge. The aim of this study is to develop electroactive biomaterials that better mimic the extracellular microenvironment for bone regeneration. Hence, MXene/polyvinylidene fluoride (MXene/PVDF) ferroelectric nanocomposite membranes were prepared by electrospinning. Physicochemical characterization demonstrated that Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets were wrapped in PVDF shell layer and the surface morphology and potential were modulated by altering the content of MXene, where uniform distribution of fibers and enhanced electric potential can be obtained and precisely assembled into a natural extracellular matrix (ECM) in bone tissue. Consequently, the MXene/PVDF membranes facilitated cell adhesion, stretching, and growth, showing good biocompatibility; meanwhile, their intrinsic electric potential promoted the recruitment of osteogenic cells and accelerated the differentiation of osteoblast. Furthermore, 1 wt % MXene/PVDF membrane with a suitable surface potential and better topographical structure for bone regeneration qualitatively and quantitatively promoted bone tissue formation in a rat calvarial bone defect after 4 and 8 weeks of healing. The fabricated MXene/PVDF ferroelectric nanocomposite membranes show a biomimetic microenvironment with a sustainable electric potential and optimal 3D topographical structure, providing an innovative and well-suited strategy for application in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Phototherapy, which generally refers to photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has received significant attention over the past few years since it is non-invasive, has effective selectivity, and has few side effects. As a result, it has become a promising alternative to traditional clinical treatments. At present, two-dimensional materials (2D materials) have proven to be at the forefront of the development of advanced nanomaterials due to their ultrathin structures and fascinating optical properties. As a result, much work has been put into developing phototherapy platforms based on 2D materials. This review summarizes the current developments in 2D materials beyond graphene for phototherapy, focusing on the novel approaches of PTT and PDT. New methods are being developed to go above and beyond conventional treatment to fully use the potential of 2D materials. Additionally, the efficacy of cutting-edge phototherapy is assessed, and the existing difficulties and future prospects of 2D materials for phototherapy are covered.

Abstract
Premature drug release and poor controllability is a challenge in the practical application of tumor therapy, which may lead to poor chemotherapy efficacy and severe adverse effects. In this study, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-cleavable nanoparticle system (MXene-TK-DOX@PDA) was designed for effective chemotherapy drug delivery and antibacterial applications. Doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated to the surface of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)-functionalized MXene via an ROS-cleavable diacetoxyl thioketal (TK) linkage. Subsequently, the surfaces of the MXene nanosheets were coated with pH-responsive polydopamine (PDA) as a gatekeeper. PDA endowed the MXene-TK-DOX@PDA nanoparticles with superior biocompatibility and stability. The MXene-TK-DOX@PDA nanoparticles had an ultrathin planar structure and a small lateral size of approximately 180 nm. The as-synthesized nanoparticles demonstrated outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency, superior photothermal stability, and a remarkable extinction coefficient (23.3 L g-1 cm-1 at 808 nm). DOX exhibited both efficient ROS-responsive and pH-responsive release performance from MXene-TK-DOX@PDA nanoparticles due to the cleavage of the thioketal linker. In addition, MXene-TK-DOX@PDA nanoparticles displayed high antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) within 5 h. Taken together, we hope that MXene-TK-DOX@PDA nanoparticles will enrich the drug delivery system and significantly expand their applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
There is a critical unmet need to detect and image 2D materials within single cells and tissues while surveying a high degree of information from single cells. Here, a versatile multiplexed label-free single-cell detection strategy is proposed based on single-cell mass cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and ion-beam imaging by time-of-flight (MIBI-TOF). This strategy, "Label-free sINgle-cell tracKing of 2D matErials by mass cytometry and MIBI-TOF Design" (LINKED), enables nanomaterial detection and simultaneous measurement of multiple cell and tissue features. As a proof of concept, a set of 2D materials, transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes), is selected to ensure mass detection within the cytometry range while avoiding overlap with more than 70 currently available tags, each able to survey multiple biological parameters. First, their detection and quantification in 15 primary human immune cell subpopulations are demonstrated. Together with the detection, mass cytometry is used to capture several biological aspects of MXenes, such as their biocompatibility and cytokine production after their uptake. Through enzymatic labeling, MXenes' mediation of cell-cell interactions is simultaneously evaluated. In vivo biodistribution experiments using a mixture of MXenes in mice confirm the versatility of the detection strategy and reveal MXene accumulation in the liver, blood, spleen, lungs, and relative immune cell subtypes. Finally, MIBI-TOF is applied to detect MXenes in different organs revealing their spatial distribution. The label-free detection of 2D materials by mass cytometry at the single-cell level, on multiple cell subpopulations and in multiple organs simultaneously, will enable exciting new opportunities in biomedicine.

Two-dimensional ultrathin Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets coated intraocular lens for synergistic photothermal and NIR-controllable rapamycin releasing therapy against posterior capsule opacification. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:989099. [PMID: 36110318 PMCID: PMC9468448 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.989099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is one of the most frequent late-onset complications after cataract surgery. Several kinds of drug-eluting intraocular lenses (IOL) were designed for sustainable drug release to suppress ocular inflammation, the proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) and the development of PCO after cataract surgery. Despite previous advances in this field, the drug-loaded IOLs were limited in ocular toxicity, insufficient drug-loading capacity, and short release time. To prevent PCO and to address these drawbacks, a novel drug-loaded IOL (Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL), prepared from two-dimensional ultrathin Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets and rapamycin (Rapa), was fabricated with a two-step spin coating method in this study. Rapa@Ti3C2 was prepared via electrostatic self-assembly of Ti3C2 and Rapa, with a loading capacity of Rapa at 92%. Ti3C2 was used as a drug delivery reservoir of Rapa. Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL was designed to have the synergistic photothermal and near infrared (NIR)-controllable drug release property. As a result, Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL exhibited the advantages of simple preparation, high light transmittance, excellent photothermal conversion capacity, and NIR-controllable drug release behavior. The Rapa@Ti3C2 coating effectively eliminated the LECs around Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL under a mild 808-nm NIR laser irradiation (1.0 W/cm−2). Moreover, NIR-controllable Rapa release inhibited the migration of LECs and suppressed the inflammatory response after photothermal therapy in vitro. Then, Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL was implanted into chinchilla rabbit eyes, and the effectiveness and biocompatibility to prevent PCO were evaluated for 4 weeks. The Rapa@Ti3C2-IOL implant exhibited excellent PCO prevention ability with the assistance of NIR irradiation and no obvious pathological damage was observed in surrounding healthy tissues. In summary, the present study offers a promising strategy for preventing PCO via ultrathin Ti3C2 MXene nanosheet-based IOLs with synergistic photothermal and NIR-controllable Rapa release properties.

Abstract
MXene, as a new two-dimensional nanomaterial, is endowed with lots of particular properties, such as large surface area, excellent conductivity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, and so on. In the past few years, MXene nanomaterials have become a rising star in biomedical fields including biological imaging, tumor diagnosis, biosensor, and tissue engineering. In this review, we sum up the recent applications of MXene nanomaterials in the field of tissue engineering and regeneration. First, we briefly introduced the synthesis and surface modification engineering of MXene. Then we focused on the application and development of MXene and MXene-based composites in skin, bone, nerve and heart tissue engineering. Uniquely, we also paid attention to some research on MXene with few achievements at present but might become a new trend in tissue engineering and regeneration in the future. Finally, this paper will also discuss several challenges faced by MXene nanomaterials in the clinical application of tissue engineering.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with versatile properties have been widely applied in the field of biomedicine. Despite various studies having reviewed the development of biomedical 2D nanomaterials, there is a lack of a study that objectively summarizes and analyzes the research trend of this important field. Here, we employ a series of bibliometric methods to identify the development of the 2D nanomaterial-related biomedical field during the past 10 years from a holistic point of view. First, the annual publication/citation growth, country/institute/author distribution, referenced sources, and research hotspots are identified. Thereafter, based on the objectively identified research hotspots, the contributions of 2D nanomaterials to the various biomedical subfields, including those of biosensing, imaging/therapy, antibacterial treatment, and tissue engineering are carefully explored, by considering the intrinsic properties of the nanomaterials. Finally, prospects and challenges have been discussed to shed light on the future development and clinical translation of 2D nanomaterials. This review provides a novel perspective to identify and further promote the development of 2D nanomaterials in biomedical research.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides (MXenes) have attracted great interest owing to their unique structures and superior properties compared to those of traditional 2D materials. The transformation of 2D MXenes into sub-5-nm quantum sheets (QSs) is urgently required but rarely reported. Herein, the Ti3AlC2 MAX and Ti3C2 MXene QSs with monolayer structures and sub-5-nm lateral sizes are demonstrated. Exceptionally high yields (>15 wt %) are obtained through an all-physical top-down method. The QS dispersions present unique photoluminescence, and the QSs-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) hybrid thin films demonstrate remarkable nonlinear saturation absorption (NSA). Absolute modulation depths of 30.6 and 49.9% and saturation intensities of 1.16 and 1.25 MW cm-2 (i.e., 116 and 125 nJ cm-2) are achieved for Ti3AlC2 QSs and Ti3C2 QSs, respectively. Such record-high NSA performances of MXene QSs would boost the application of MAX/MXene materials in nonlinear optics.

Abstract
Abstract
A relatively low-temperature molten salt assisted synthesis is developed to prepare MAX phase solid solutions in the Ti2AlC–V2AlC system, to be used as precursors for the preparation of heterometallic MXenes Ti2 –xVxC. When the synthesis temperature is 1000°С, Ti1V1AlC, Ti0.5V1.5AlC, and Ti0.2V1.8AlC samples (despite the formation of a MAX phase and a systematic shift of reflection (002) in response to progressing vanadium-for-titanium substitution) typically feature appreciable amounts of impurity phases, namely Al2O3 and vanadium (their reflections are partially overlapping). An increase in synthetic temperature to 1100°С appreciably reduces the amount of impurities and, in a Ti1V1AlC sample, decreases the unit cell parameter a, which yet far exceeds the calculated and published values (while the parameter c corresponds with those values). Thermal analysis of Ti2AlC, Ti1V1AlC, and V2AlC samples in the range 20–1000°С shows that the oxidation resistance decreases in the progress of vanadium-for-titanium substitution in a MAX phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to study the microstructure of the prepared Ti2AlC and V2AlC phases.

Abstract
A broad family of two-dimensional (2D) materials - carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of early transition metals, called MXenes, became a newcomer in the flatland at the turn of 2010 and 2011 (over ten years ago). Their unique physicochemical properties made them attractive for many applications, highly boosting the development of various fields, including biotechnological. However, MXenes' functional features that impact their bioactivity and toxicity are still not fully well understood. This study discusses the essentials for MXenes's surface modifications toward their application in modern biotechnology and nanomedicine. We survey modification strategies in context of cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, and most prospective applications ready to implement in medical practice. We put the discussion on the material-structure-chemistry-property relationship into perspective and concentrate on overarching challenges regarding incorporating MXenes into nanostructured organic/inorganic bioactive architectures. It is another emerging group of materials that are interesting from the biomedical point of view as well. Finally, we present an influential outlook on the growing demand for future research in this field.

Abstract
MXenes, representing a new class of two-dimensional nanomaterial, have attracted intense interest in a variety of fields as supercapacitors, catalysts, and sensors, and in biomedicine. The assessment of the safety of MXenes and related materials in biological systems is thus an issue that requires significant attention. In this review, the toxic effects of MXenes and their derivatives are summarized through the discussion of current research into their behaviors in mammalian cells, animals and plants. Numerous studies have shown that MXenes have generally low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. However, a few studies have indicated that MXenes are toxic to stem cells and embryos. These in vitro and in vivo toxic effects are strongly associated with the dose of material, the cell type, the mode of exposure, and the specific type of MXene. In addition, surface modifications alter the toxic effects of MXenes. The stability of MXenes must be considered during toxicity evaluation, as degradation can lead to potentially toxic byproducts. Although research concerning the toxicity of MXenes is limited, this review provides an overview of the current understanding of interactions of MXenes with biological systems and suggests future research directions.

Abstract
Ti3C2Tx MXene is a new type of two-dimensional material with good biocompatibility and a good photothermal effect, and shows great potential in cancer treatment. In this study, few-layer ionic liquid (IL)-Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets were synthesized using IL stripping technology, which have high chemical stability, and allow photoacoustic imaging and synergistic photothermal/chemotherapy of cancer. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, the nanosheets have strong absorption in the near-infrared region, and high photothermal conversion efficiency (∼63.91%). Using DOX as a model drug, the IL-Ti3C2Tx MXene@DOX nanosheets exhibited high drug loading capacity and pH-/photosensitivity, which will further promote the drug release of the nanosheets in an acidic tumor microenvironment and under 808 nm laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that IL-Ti3C2Tx MXene@DOX has good biological safety, allows remarkable photoacoustic imaging, and can effectively kill cancer cells with synergistic photothermal/chemotherapy. Therefore, IL-Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets are expected to provide powerful and useful two-dimensional nanoplatforms for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
For quick disinfection treatment, phototherapy, including photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional methods. However, the bactericidal effect of phototherapy, which only works upon light, is short-lived. The remaining bacteria in situ may repopulate when the irradiation of light is withdrawn. To address this refractory concern, an antibacterial fibrous membrane consisting of electrospun poly (polycaprolactone) scaffolds and polydopamine (pDA) coated MXene/Ag3 PO4 bioheterojunctions (MX@AgP bio-HJs) is devised and developed. Upon near-infrared (NIR) illumination, the MX@AgP nanoparticle (NP) in nanofibrous electrospun membranes exert the excellent bactericidal effect of phototherapy and release Ag+ ions which stop the remaining bacteria from multiplying in the dark state. When removing NIR light, pDA in situ reduces Ag+ ions to Ag0 NPs to realize the self-rechargeability of Ag+ ions and provides enough Ag+ ions for the second phototherapy. In vivo results show that photoactivated nanofibrous membranes can re-shape an infected wound microenvironment to the regenerative microenvironment through killing bacteria, ceasing bleeding, increasing epithelialization, and collagen deposition on the wound bed, as well as promoting angiogenesis. As predicted, the proposal work offers potential prospects for nanofibrous membranes with NIR-assisted "self-rechargeable" antibacterial properties to treat bacteria-infected full-thickness wounds.
