Abstract:

Owing to the advantages of high conductivity, hydrophilicity, high specific surface area, fascinating mechanical

strength and photothermal conversion performance, transition metal carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides (MXenes), as a new kind

of two-dimensional materials, have shown remarkable potential applications in the field of biomedicine, especially in tissue en

gineering. In this paper, the research progress of biocompatibility of MXenes was briefly summarized, the application of MXenes

in tissue engineering such as bone repair and skin regeneration was emphatically introduced, and finally the challenges and po

tential research directions of MXenes in tissue engineering were prospected, aiming to provide some insights for the research and

clinical application of MXenes in tissue engineering.

Key words:

　MXenes, 　Biocompatibility, 　Bone regeneration, 　Skin regeneration
