5th International Conference «Nanobiophysics: Fundamental and Applied Aspects» was held on October 2-5, 2017 at B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the NAS of Ukraine, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
A special session dedicated to HORIZON 2020 project «Asymmetry of biological membrane: theoretical, experimental and applied aspects» (690853 – assymcurv – H2020-MSCA-RISE-2015/H2020-MSCA-RISE-2015) was organized.
Oleksiy Gogotsi, director of Materials Research Center presented research on synthesis and biomedical applications of 2D carbides MXenes.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with a thickness of a few nanometers or less can be used as single sheets due to their unique properties or as building blocks, to assemble a variety of structures. The family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, MXenes, has been expanding rapidly since the discovery of Ti3C2 in 2011. More than 20 different MXenes have been synthesized, and the structure and properties of numerous other MXenes have been predicted using density functional theory calculations. MXenes’ versatile chemistry renders their properties tunable for a large variety of applications. Oxygen or OH terminated MXenes, such as Ti3C2O2, are promising candidates for biomedical applications.

Urgent problems in a new scientific field combining biophysics and nanotechnology as well as its progress and prospects were discussed during the following sessions:
– Nanobiohybrids formed by nanocarbon materials with bioobjects
– Biomolecules on nanoparticles and nanostructured surfaces
– Physical aspects of biomolecular nanosystems
– Theoretical calculations and computer modeling of nanobiosystems
– Applied aspects of nanobiophysics
Here we demonstrate a new developed method for depositing Ti3C2Tx MXenes onto hydrophobic electrospun PCL membranes using oxygen plasma treatment. These novel patches hold tremendous potential for providing mechanical support to damaged heart tissue and enabling electrical signal transmission,thereby mimicking the crucial electroconductivity required for normal cardiac function. After a detailed investigation of scaffold-to-cell interplay, including electrical stimulation, novel technology has the potential for clinical application not only for cardiac regeneration, but also as neural and muscular tissue substitutes.
