ABSTRACT MXenes, a unique class of two‐dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, have garnered significant interest due to their exceptional chemical, mechanical, electrical properties. While recent studies predominantly focus on MXenes' applications in catalysis, energy storage harvesting, photocatalysis, lightweight materials, potential biomedicine is comparatively understated. This review aims bridge this gap by providing comprehensive up‐to‐date overview MXenes biomedical applications, specifically highlighting advanced uses such as photothermal therapy photodynamic for cancer treatment, well roles imaging contrast agents tumor visualization. We examine the synthesis chemical modifications including functionalization, etching, exfoliation techniques that enable tailored properties biomedicine. article highlights advantages, high surface area, tunable chemistry, biocompatibility, while also addressing challenges future research directions unlock full potential. focused exploration cutting‐edge sets apart, its significance advancing role modern research.
