Cell surface engineering, as an offshoot of nanoarchitectonics, is a powerful tool for modifying and improving the properties of living cells. Eukaryotic cells can serve as templates for the manufacture of inorganic imprints. The authors developed a simple method for recognizing the shape of human cells using their imprints on the base of inorganic materials doped with halloysite nanotubes. The authors believe that this methodology is promising for biomedical and clinical research.
