Morphological Dynamics of Leukemia Cells on TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticle Coatings Studied by AFM

Coatings of modified TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub>-m) have been shown to effectively and selectively trap non-adherent cancer cells, with an enormous potential for applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Leukemia cells have a remarkable affinity for TiO&l...
