Halloysite Clay Nanotubes: Characterization, Biocompatibility and Use as Drug Carriers

Abdullayev E., Cingolani R., Giovinazzo G., Leporatti S., Lvov Y.M., Santino A., Vergaro V., Zeitoun A., National Nanotechnology Laboratory (NNL) of CNR-INFM, IT

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are efficient nano-containers capable of entrapping a range of active agents within the inner lumen, followed by their retention and slow release. Halloysite is a green environmentally friendly object available in commercial [...]

Nanocarriers for Cancer Therapy

Cingolani R., Giovinazzo G., Leporatti S., Lvov Y.M., Rinaldi R., Santino A., Vergaro V., Zheng X., Zheng Z., National Nanotechnology Laboratory (NNL) of CNR-INFM, IT

Drug nano-colloids encapsulated by combination of layer by layer (LbL) techniques and ultrasonication, phytochemical encapsulated-artificial oleosomes and drug-loading clay nanotubes have been uptaken by neoplastic cells. Morpho- mechanical changes induced by such nanocarriers in living [...]
