Layered Double Hydroxide Nanotransporter for Molecule Delivery to Intact Plant Cells

Layered Double Hydroxide Nanotransporter for Molecule Delivery to Intact Plant Cells

Here we report a powerful method that facilitates the transport of biologically active materials across the cell wall barrier in plant cells. Positively charged delaminated layered double hydroxide lactate nanosheets (LDH-lactate-NS) with a 0.5‒2 nm thickness and 30‒60 nm diameter exhibit a high adsorptive capacity for negatively charged biomolecules, including fluorescent dyes such as tetramet...

Layered Double Hydroxide-Based Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery

Biocompatible clay materials have attracted particular attention as the efficient drug delivery systems (DDS). In this article, we review developments in the use of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) for controlled drug release and delivery. We show how advances in the ability to synthesize intercalated structures have a significant influence on the development of new applications of these materi...

Layered double hydroxide nanomaterials as potential cellular drug delivery agents*

This paper briefly reviews the recent progress in using layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials as cellular delivery agents. The advantages of LDHs as cellular delivery agents are summarized, and the processes of interaction/de-intercalation of anionic drugs (genes) into/from LDH nanoparticles are discussed. Then the cellular delivery of LDH-drug (gene) nanohybrids and subsequent intracell...

Hollow nanoshell of layered double hydroxide.

Hollow nanoshells of layered double hydroxide (LDH) have been fabricated using exfoliated LDH nanosheets as a shell building block and polystyrene beads as a sacrificial template.
