BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that engineered nanomaterials will be increasingly
used in biomedical applications. However, before these novel materials can be safely …

Gold nanoparticles are widely used in many fields as preferred materials for their unique
optical and physical properties, such as surface plasmon oscillations for labeling, imaging …

Monodisperse citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles with a uniform quasi-spherical shape of
up to∼ 200 nm and a narrow size distribution were synthesized following a kinetically …

The surface modifications of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 7
to 20 nm dispersed in commonly used cell culture medium supplemented with serum are …

The role of sodium citrate (SC) in the formation and growing mechanism of gold
nanoparticles was systematically examined. Obtained results show that oxidation of SC can …

Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modification is a widely used method to improve the
functionality and stability of bulk and nanoscale materials. For instance, the chemical …

The cellular response to conducting polymer (CP) nanospheres with similar physical
properties was evaluated by in vitro cellular uptake and cytotoxicity in mouse macrophage …

A new strategy to manipulate cell operations is demonstrated, based on membrane‐receptor‐
specific interactions between colloidal peptide‐capped gold nanoparticles and human …

The C-terminal 19kDa fragment of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-119) is an important
vaccine candidate but a poor immunogen with available human compatible adjuvants like …

An estimated 16 million people in the United States have coronary artery disease (CAD),
and approximately 325,000 people die annually from cardiac arrest. About two‐thirds of …
