In Vivo Nb4C3Tx MXene‐Assisted Photothermal Therapy of Melanoma in Mice

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Nb4C3Tx MXene converts pulsed 1064 nm irradiation into localized heat, producing concentration‐ and time‐dependent melanoma cell killing in vitro and suppressing tumor growth in mice. Histology reveals extensive tumor damage, macrophage‐associated material clearance, and no detectable persistent deposits in examined visceral organs, supporting Nb4C3Tx ...
