Au-nanocluster-loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles with enhanced cellular uptake for fluorescent imaging

Protein-directed fluorescent Au nanoclusters have been widely studied owing to their potential applications in sensing, imaging, and drug and gene delivery. However, the use of nanoclusters in drug delivery is limited by low cellular uptake. In this study, human serum albumin-directed Au nanocluster...
