Halloysite Nanotube Coatings Suppress Leukocyte Spreading. [PDF]
Langmuir, 2015 The nanoscale topography of adhesive surfaces is known to be an important factor governing cellular behavior. Previous work has shown that surface coatings composed of halloysite nanotubes enhance the adhesion, and therefore capture of, rare target cells such as circulating tumor cells.

Cellular Analysis and Chemotherapeutic Potential of a Bi-Functionalized Halloysite Nanotube [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2020 The surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was bifunctionalized with two ligands—folic acid and a fluorochrome. In tandem, this combination should selectively target cancer cells and provide a means for imaging the nanoparticle.
