Influence of size and shape on the anatomical distribution of endotoxin-free gold nanoparticles (2017)
Journal Article
Talamini, L., Violato, M. B., Cai, Q., Monopoli, M., Kantner, K., Krpetic, Z., …Bigini, P. (2017). Influence of size and shape on the anatomical distribution of endotoxin-free gold nanoparticles. ACS nano, 11(6), 5519-5529. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.7b00497

The transport and the delivery of drugs through nanocarriers is a great challenge of pharmacology. Since the production of liposomes to reduce the toxicity of doxorubicin in patients, a plethora of nanomaterials have been produced and characterized....

Towards a classification strategy for complex nanostructures (2017)
Journal Article
Castagnola, V., Cookman, J., De Araujo, J., Polo, E., Cai, Q., Silviera, P., …Dawson, K. (2017). Towards a classification strategy for complex nanostructures. Nanoscale horizons (Print), 2017(2), 187-198. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6NH00219F

The range of possible nanostructures is so large and continuously growing, that collating and unifying the knowledge connected to them, including their biological activity, is a major challenge. Here we discuss a conception that is based on connectio... Read More about Towards a classification strategy for complex nanostructures.

Detecting the shape of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in dispersion with single particle extinction and scattering (2017)
Journal Article
Marco A, C., P., Krpetic, Z., Tiziano, S., Qi, C., Marco, M., João M., D. A., …Kenneth A., D. (2017). Detecting the shape of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in dispersion with single particle extinction and scattering. Nanoscale, 8, https://doi.org/10.1039/C6NR08977A

The shape and size of nanoparticles are important parameters affecting the biodistribution, bioactivity, and toxicity. The high-throughput characterisation of nanoparticle shape in the dispersion is a fundamental prerequisite for realistic in vitro...
