Gold nanoparticles in a cancer cell, light micrograph. Gold nanoparticles have many properties that make them exciting objects of study in cancer research. For example, they are non-toxic, can carry a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and are small enough to reach targets in the body that other delivery systems can't reach. This dark-field light micrograph shows the delivery of gold nanoparticles (yellow dots) into the cytosol of a cancer cell. This image was created in 2014, as part of research carried out at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Rice University, USA. | |
