Does black phosphorus hold potential to overcome graphene oxide? A comparative review of their promising application for cancer therapy
Although graphene oxide (GO) is leading the way in the biomedical field of 2D materials, nanosized black phosphorus (NBP) has recently come to attention for use in this challenging field. A direct comparison between these two materials, in this context, has never been described. Therefore, in this m...

| Summary: | Although graphene oxide (GO) is leading the way in the biomedical field of 2D materials, nanosized black phosphorus (NBP) has recently come to attention for use in this challenging field. A direct comparison between these two materials, in this context, has never been described. Therefore, in this mini-review, we will critically compare the applications of NBP and GO in cancer therapy. Material functionalisation, biodegradation by design, phototherapy and immunotherapy will be summarised. This work aims to inspire researchers in designing the next generation of safe NBP platforms for cancer treatment, taking advantage of the vast experience gained with GO.
In this mini-review, we will critically compare the applications of NBP and GO in cancer therapy focusing on material functionalization, biodegradation by design, phototherapy and immunotherapy. |

| Bibliography: | Amalia Ruiz completed her degree in Biochemistry at the University of Havana (2008). Then she was awarded a fellowship to carry out her PhD in the field of nanomaterials in the group of Professor Puerto Morales at the Institute of Materials Sciences of Madrid (2014). She has worked as a research fellow across different institutions: the Center of Advanced Studies (Cuba), the University of East Anglia (Marie Sk odowska-Curie Fellow) (UK), the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (France), and Queen's University Belfast (UK). Her research has focused on the potential that nanomaterials could offer to diagnose and treat cancer, bacterial infections and other diseases. Giacomo Reina received his PhD in 2016 at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata" under the supervision of Prof. Silvia Orlanducci and Prof. Maria Letizia Terranova. After, he joined the group of Dr Alberto Bianco at the Institut de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, CNRS in Strasbourg as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2020, he was awarded with the JSPS scholarship in the group of Prof. Naoki Komatsu at the University of Kyoto. His research interests focus on preparation, functionalization and supramolecular interactions of inorganic nanomaterials for imaging, therapeutic, and diagnostic applications. Cristina Martín obtained her PhD in Chemistry in 2016 from the Universities of Trieste (Italy) and Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). During her PhD, she spent 3 months at the University of Brighton (UK). She worked as a postdoctoral researcher at IRICA (Spain) in 2016-2017. In October 2017, she joined the group of Dr Alberto Bianco (France) to work mainly on the biodegradation and biomedical applications of carbon-based nanomaterials. Since October 2020, she is working as a CONEX-Plus Marie Curie Fellow at the University Carlos III of Madrid. Her research is focused on the development of new approaches for wound healing using graphene-based materials.
