Abstract
This review is focused on the pharmaceutical and biological applications of clays, clay minerals and layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Novel nanohybrids of clay mineral-/ or LDH-biomaterials, including vitamins, drugs, and DNA strands are discussed for possible future developments in cosmetics, pharmaceutics, medicine as well as information storage.
