In vivo study of spherical gold nanoparticles: inflammatory effects and distribution in mice.
OBJECTIVES: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of 21 nm have been previously well characterized in vitro for their capacity to target macrophages via active uptake. However, the short-term impact of such AuNPs on physiological systems, in particular resident macrophages located in fat tissue in vivo, is lar...
