This is tricky because exosomes are small—measuring just 30 to 200 nanometers (a millionth of a millimeter). To spot them, the research team designed gold nanoparticles shaped like twisted disks ...

detection antibody onto gold nanoparticles that can be visualized spectroscopically. Both these antibodies are specific for two different surface markers found on all exosomes. In an initial ...

The field explores the frontier science behind non-viral vectors such as liposomes, cationic polymers, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, ferritin, and red cell membranes. These vectors herald a new ...

Non-viral vectors, such as liposomes, cationic polymers, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, ferritin, and red cell membranes, offer a promising alternative to viral delivery systems for gene therapy.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are nanoscale particles of gold, typically ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). These nanoparticles exhibit unique physical, chemical, and optical properties that ...

A new study suggests that injecting gold nanoparticles into the retina and stimulating those particles with lasers could restore partial vision for these patients. The gold nanoparticles ...

The microchip developed at U-M captures exosomes—tiny packages released by cells—from blood plasma to identify signs of lung cancer. A scanning electron microscope image of chiral gold nanoparticles ...
