The emergence of 2D nanomaterials (2D NMs), which was initiated by the isolation of graphene (G) in 2004, revolutionized various biomedical applications, including bioimaging and -sensing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, owing to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. Building on the success of G, a novel class of monoelemental 2D NMs, known as Xenes, has recently emerged, offering distinct advantages in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this review, we focus on the comparison of G and Xene materials for use in fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds. After a brief introduction to the basic physicochemical properties of these materials, recent representative studies are classified in terms of the engineered tissue, i.e., bone, cartilage, neural, muscle, and skin tissues. We analyze several methods of improving the clinical potential of Xene-laden scaffolds using state-of-the-art fabrication technologies and innovative biomaterials. Despite the considerable advantages of Xene materials, critical concerns, such as biocompatibility, biodistribution and regulatory challenges, should be considered. This review and collaborative efforts should advance the field of Xene-based tissue engineering and enable innovative, effective solutions for use in future tissue regeneration.

Nanoscale Horizons

Nanoscale Horizons is a leading journal for the publication of exceptionally high-quality, innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal places an emphasis on original research that demonstrates a new concept or a new way of thinking (a conceptual advance), rather than primarily reporting technological improvements. However, outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments such as record performance alone may also be published in the journal. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to: Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials Quantum materials 2D materials Layered materials Layered quantum materials Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies Properties of nanoscale materials Self-assembly and molecular organisation Complex hybrid nanostructures Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals Molecular nanoscience Nanocatalysis Theoretical modelling Single-molecules Plasmonics Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics Nanophotonics Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication Carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices Biomimetic materials Nanobiotechnology/bionanomaterials Nanomedicine Regulatory approaches and risk assessment
