A microporous titanosilicate for selective killing of HeLa cancer cells

abstract

Structural distribution of zinc(II) ions in the pore system of three silicate molecular sieves has revealed an unprecedented application of the microporous titanosilicate Zn-ETS-4 as a non toxic, highly efficient and selective inhibitor of HeLa cancer cells.
