Abstract

Layered Clay Minerals In article number 2300842, Weimin Xie, Ying Chen, and Huaming Yang review the current applications of layered clay minerals (LCM) in cancer therapy. Except for being used as drug delivery carriers, it can also produce reactive oxygen species, hydroxyl radicals, as an embolic agent, promote immune effects, adhesive cancer cells to prevent metastasis and their own antitumor effects. Of note, the structure, classification, physicochemical properties and functionalization method of LCM are introduced to promote the understanding of LCM.
