In this work we investigated how serum protein adsorption on NP surfaces infl uences the cellular uptake of NPs. We fi nd that surface hydrophobicity is a critical factor for controlling serum albumin binding, which in turn decreases the cellular uptake of AuNPs.

Abstract
In this work we investigated how serum protein adsorption on NP surfaces infl uences the cellular uptake of NPs. We fi nd that surface hydrophobicity is a critical factor for controlling serum albumin binding, which in turn decreases the cellular uptake of AuNPs.File in questo prodotto:
