Description
Andrea Bezze and co-authors present gold-doped nanoparticles for tracking cells in this 2025 study. Tiny carriers can improve drug delivery, but watching where organic carriers go inside the body in real time is hard. Standard checks rely on glowing labels, and plain organic material gives too little contrast for sharp label-free imaging.
Adding gold lets one carrier be seen by several imaging and analysis tools at once. The team made stable, even-sized carriers with about half the intended gold load. Gold sat through the core and near the outer shell. Size and surface charge rose slightly, but the carriers stayed safe for cells and entered brain tumor and immune cells as before. Their light traits changed enough to allow multi-tool tracking.
