2D nanosilicates as a platform technology to sequester and deliver a multitude of therapeutic growth factors to stimulate and direct cellular functions are presented by Akhilesh K. Gaharwar and co‐workers in article number 1800092 . The high surface area and charged characteristics of 2D nanosilicates prolong the release of therapeutic biomolecules while maintaining their bioavailability.
