The paper studied photothermal therapy using biocompatible, stable MXene photothermal fiber membranes created by integrating metal carbide MXene into the biodegradable polymer polylactic acid (PLA) via electrospinning, specifically evaluating membranes described as MXene-PEG/PLA. Photothermal performance was assessed with near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation experiments and, for in vivo efficacy, a melanoma model was generated in C57BL/6J mice with the membranes implanted into tumors. The authors report that MXene-PEG/PLA fiber membranes significantly reduced tumor volume and weight, decreased tumor cell apoptosis and vascular density, and improved organ integrity in the heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys; the work also notes that it is a preprint and not peer reviewed, so findings are preliminary. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Photothermal therapy (PTT) employs photoabsorbing nanomaterials to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into localized hyperthermia for targeted tumor ablation. In this study, biocompatible and stable MXene photothermal fiber membranes were synthesized by integrating metal carbide MXene with the biodegradable polymer polylactic acid (PLA) through electrospinning techniques. The photothermal efficiency of these membranes was assessed via NIR laser irradiation experiments. For PTT treatment evaluation, a melanoma model was developed using C57BL/6J mice, into which the innovative MXene photothermal fiber membranes(MXene-PEG/PLA fiber membranes) was implanted. The findings indicated that the MXene-PEG/PLA fiber membranes significantly diminished both the volume and weight of tumors. Furthermore, there was a notable reduction in tumor cell apoptosis and vascular density, alongside a marked improvement in the integrity of the heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys in the treated mice. These results suggest that the MXene-PEG/PLA fiber membranes represent a safe and effective molecular material for use in photothermal therapy.
