Highly Stabilized Core-Satellite Gold Nanoassemblies in Vivo: DNA-Directed Self-Assembly, PEG Modification and Cell Imaging

Abstract Au nanoparticles (NPs) have important applications in bioimaging, clinical diagnosis and even therapy due to its water-solubility, easy modification and drug-loaded capability, however, easy aggregation of Au NPs in normal saline and serum greatly limits its applications. In this work, high...
