Recent advances in gold-based metal enhanced fluorescence platforms for diagnosis and imaging in the near-infrared

This review examines metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) using gold (Au) nanostructures, with a focus on biomedical applications of this phenomenon, namely fluorescence biosensing and imaging. The mechanism by which MEF occurs will be briefly discussed before a thorough review of recent investigations...
