Why gold nanoparticles can penetrate cell walls
Gold nanoparticles with special coatings can deliver drugs or biosensors to a cell's interior without damaging it
26-Aug-2013 -
Cells are very good at protecting their precious contents — and as a result, it's very difficult to penetrate their membrane walls to deliver drugs, nutrients or biosensors without damaging or destroying the cell. One effective way of doing so, discovered in 2008, is to use nanoparticles of pure ...
