Emerging Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapy.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have drawn tremendous attentions due to their unique physicochemical properties and promising applications in the fields of electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. Recently, the biomedicine community has gradually started to recognize the great potential of these nanostructured materials for biomedical applications - in particular those related to cancer therapy. In this review, we provide a brief overview on a few representative 2D nanomaterials, discuss their preparation strategies and physicochemical properties, and highlight their applications in cancer nanomedicine. We expect that this review will shed some light on the new opportunities associated with 2D nanomaterials for biomedical research.
