MXene-based nanomaterials for antibacterial and wound healing

Abstract

MXenes, as a new type of two-dimensional nanomaterial, have great potential for biomedical applications due to their unique structural features and excellent physicochemical properties. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated that MXenes materials also possess good antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, which has greatly promoted the development of MXenes in the field of tissue engineering and skin regeneration. A series of emerging studies on the introduction of MXenes into wound dressings has significantly advanced the research progress of novel wound dressings. This review provides a brief overview of the application of MXenes in wound healing, focusing on the properties of MXenes in wound healing and the specific applications of MXenes as wound dressings, as well as some suggestions and opinions on their future development.
