A comprehensive review of synthesis, structure, properties, and functionalization of MoS2; emphasis on drug delivery, photothermal therapy, and tissue engineering applications

The futuristic applications of transition metal dichalcogenides for cancer therapy

“…One such study described the growth of MoS 2 nanosheets on the bio-ceramic materials surface, which demonstrated qualities as a powerful photothermal therapeutic efficacy. The scaffold positively promotes in vivo proliferation and osteogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation [41,42]. This provides a clinical approach that shows promise for effectively treating tumor-induced bone abnormalities.…”

Ultrathin TiS2@N,S-Doped Carbon Hybrid Nanosheets as Highly Efficient Photoresponsive Antibacterial Agents

“…14,16 Despite their superior antibacterial properties, the strong toxicity of the Ag NPs to human cells and their intractable abuse often leads to adverse effects such as argyrosis, spasms, and gastrointestinal disorders, 17 and the ultraviolet (UV)-light-induced biocidal activity of such photocatalysts hampers their applications in biological therapies. 18 In contrast, transition-metal sulfides (TMSs) represent several distinct benefits in reduced acute toxicity, acceptable biocompatibility, and high stability toward metal leakage without causing any harmful effects due to the excessive metal ions and they possess multiple microbial killing mechanisms, 19 among which MoS 2 and CuS have been extensively investigated as excellent antimicrobial photocatalysts, 20,21 whereas other TMSs including Ag 2 S, 22 CdS, 23 Bi 2 S 3 , 24 FeS 2 , 25 SnS, 26 TiS 2 , 27 WS 2 , 28 and so forth are attracting increasing research interest as alternative biologically active agents. Typically, TiS 2 , known for its abundance and lightweight nature, has primarily been explored for electronic and energy storage purposes.…”

“…35 These distinct characteristics enable efficient separation and transport of the free charge carriers, making TiS 2 a promising candidate for visible-light-induced ROS-based photodynamic microbial inactivation. 20,27 Although these advantages highlight the potential of TiS 2 as an antimicrobial agent, however, its bactericidal effectiveness is still restricted by several factors including the relatively low band gap and the strong bonding between the atoms within the crystal structure of the bulk or multilayered TiS 2 . These intrinsic factors result in rapid recombination and weak reactivity of the photoexcited charge carriers, thereby suppressing the antimicrobial ROS generation.…”

“…Additionally, the strong covalently bonded layers are interconnected through weak van der Waals interactions, which are crucial for the exfoliation and layer-by-layer growth of TiS 2 . These distinct characteristics enable efficient separation and transport of the free charge carriers, making TiS 2 a promising candidate for visible-light-induced ROS-based photodynamic microbial inactivation. , Although these advantages highlight the potential of TiS 2 as an antimicrobial agent, however, its bactericidal effectiveness is still restricted by several factors including the relatively low band gap and the strong bonding between the atoms within the crystal structure of the bulk or multilayered TiS 2 . These intrinsic factors result in rapid recombination and weak reactivity of the photoexcited charge carriers, thereby suppressing the antimicrobial ROS generation. , The process of charge-carrier recombination can occur in both narrow- and wide-band-gap materials but is of particular concern in narrow-band-gap materials due to their closely spaced energy levels and thermal excitation phenomenon .…”
