Non-disruptive uptake of anionic and cationic gold nanoparticles in neutral zwitterionic membranes

Abstract The potential toxicity of ligand-protected nanoparticles (NPs) on biological targets is crucial for their clinical translation. A number of studies are aimed at investigating the molecular mechanisms shaping the interactions between synthetic NPs and neutral plasma membranes. The role playe...
