Gold nanoparticles cellular toxicity and recovery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique electronic and chemical properties and hence are used in many applications. However, their potential health risk(s) and interactions with cells are not fully known. Over last decade, many reports brought forth the fact that such nanoparticles exhibit exotic physical properties that allow them to penetrate unusually deep into skin and other organs [1-6]. Most previous studies have focused determining the general proliferation or apoptosis levels for cells exposed to AuNPs, after relatively short exposures, less than 24 hours.
