Summary

Researchers found that Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets, an emerging engineered nanomaterial, disrupt sperm cell development in male mice by activating a DNA-damage signaling pathway (ATM/p53). The findings raise concerns about the reproductive safety of nanomaterials that may enter the body through environmental exposure, similar to nanoplastics.

Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub> nanosheet-induced disruption of proliferation and apoptosis of spermatogonia perturbed normal spermatogenic function that was mediated by ATM/p53 signaling pathway. Our findings shed more light on the mechanisms of male reproductive toxicity induced by Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub> nanosheets.
