Biocompatibility of gold nanoparticles and their endocytotic fate inside the cellular compartment: a microscopic overview.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that Au(0) nanoparticles are not cytotoxic, reduce the production of reactive oxygen and nitrite species, and do not elicit secretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL1-beta, making them suitable candidates for nanomedicine.
