Cover Story: Terahertz (THz) metamaterial biosensors enable label-free, non-ionizing biodetection, but clinical translation is limited by low sensitivity, poor anti-interference, and simulation-dominated research. MXenes outperform gold with high conductivity, functional groups for biomolecular capture, biocompatibility, and flexibility. This review covers MXene-based THz biosensors, including structural design, material synergy, machine learning, and performance metrics. Most studies remain as simulations, yet Yang et al. achieved in vivo thrombus monitoring with 94.7% sensitivity and 92.3% specificity, bridging the simulation–clinical gap. We identify key bottlenecks and future directions for clinically adaptive, full-chain development, providing a roadmap from simulation to point-of-care diagnostics. View this paper
