Bioinspired RGD-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Integrin-Driven Interaction with Melanoma Cells
This work provides new understanding of biomimetic gold nanoparticles and highlights their potential in tumour selective strategies, particularly for integring-targeted theranostics, while addressing toxicity and targeting limitations of current RGD- and gold nanoparticle-based nanomedicine.
