Potential Genotoxicity of MXenes Using a DNA Comet Assay. ACS Appl. Bio Mater. 2024, 7, 12, 8351-8366Congratulations to all collaborators with this interesting joint work!

 MXenes are among the most diverse and prominent 2D materials. They are being explored in almost every field of science and technology, including biomedicine. Despite their proven biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, their genotoxicity has not been addressed, so we investigated whether MXenes interfere with DNA integrity in cultured cells and examined the fragmentation of their chromosomal DNA by a DNA comet assay.

MXenes for biomedical applications: MXene-Polydopamine-antiCEACAM1 Antibody Complex as a Strategy for Targeted Ablation of Melanoma

MXene-Polydopamine-antiCEACAM1 Antibody Complex fro cancer therapyTogether with colleagues from the University of Latvia, MRC/Carbone Ukraine, Adam Mickiewicz University, University Clinic Essen, and others, we have developed a novel concept involving the binding of antibodies to MXenes. In our research, we utilized anti-CEACAM1 antibodies to develop targeted photo-thermal therapy for melanoma (in vitro), paving the way for future in vivo studies and clinical trials. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of delivering MXenes specifically targeted to melanoma cells, enabling the effective ablation of cancer cells under near-infrared (NIR) light. This new technique opens up vast potential for the application of MXenes in cancer treatment, diagnostics, drug delivery, and many other medical purposes.
