Tetraspanins are key players in various physiological and pathological processes, including malignancy, immune response, fertilization, and infectious disease. Affinity ligands targeting the interactions between tetraspanins and partner proteins are promising for modulating downstream signaling pathways, thus emerging as attractive candidates for interfering related biological functions.

In this study, polymeric nanocomposites of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) were synthesized by assembly of a biomimetic polymer-polydopamine (PDA)onto halloysite nanotubes ([email protected]), followed by the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the surface of [email protected] The obtained nanocomposites ([email protected]/ZIF-8) prevented agglomeration of ZIFs and increased the number of active sites derived from PDA.
