Size-dependent endocytosis of gold nanoparticles studied by three-dimensional mapping of plasmonic scattering images

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Understanding the endocytosis process of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is important for the drug delivery and photodynamic therapy applications. The endocytosis in living cells is usually studied by fluorescent microscopy. The fluoresce...
