Andrographolide engineered gold nanoparticle to overcome drug resistant visceral leishmaniasis.

TLDR
This study aims to arrive at terpenoid andrographolide engineered gold nanoparticle (AGAunps) facile synthesis and its efficacy evaluations against wild and drug resistant VL strains for the first time.
Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is World Health Organization designated most serious leishmaniasis with an annual mortality rate of 50,000. Even after country specific eradication programs, the disease...

Controlled nucleation for the regulation of the particle size in monodisperse gold suspensions

G. Frens
- 01 Jan 1973 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a series of monodisperse suspensions of the same chemical composition but of rather different particle sizes was used to study particle size dependent phenomena, such as Brownian motion, light scattering, sedimentation and electrophoresis of small particles.

Determining the size and shape dependence of gold nanoparticle uptake into mammalian cells.

TL;DR: The intracellular uptake of different sized and shaped colloidal gold nanoparticles is investigated and it is shown that kinetics and saturation concentrations are highly dependent upon the physical dimensions of the nanoparticles.

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plants

TL;DR: Most of the plants used in metal nanoparticle synthesis are shown in this article, and the advantages of using plant and plant-derived materials for biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles have interested researchers to investigate mechanisms of metal ions uptake and bioreduction by plants, and to understand the possible mechanism of nanoparticle formation in plants.
