Functionalized gold nanoparticles with controlled geometrical and optical properties are the subject of intensive studies and biomedical applications, including genomics, biosensorics, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, laser phototherapy of cancer cells and tumors, the targeted delivery of drugs, DNA and antigens, optical bioimaging and the monitoring of cells and tissues with the use of state-of-the-art detection systems. This work will provide an overview of the recent advances and current challenges facing the biomedical application of gold nanoparticles of various sizes, shapes, and structures. The review is focused on the application of gold nanoparticle conjugates in biomedical diagnostics and analytics, photothermal and photodynamic therapies, as a carrier for delivering target molecules, and on the immunological and toxicological properties. Keeping in mind the huge volume and high speed of the data update rate, 2/3 of our reference list (certainly restricted to 250 Refs.) includes publications encompassing the past 5 years.

Gold Nanoparticles Webinar: Strange properties and applications
Expedeon Published on Jul 22, 2013 Gold nanoparticles exhibit extraordinary properties quite unlike those of the bulk metal. These properties can be exploited in a variety of assay applications, including lateral flow tests, microscopy, flow cytometry and FRET assays. There are also a number of therapeutic applications, especially in the field of cancer. This free … Read more
Gold Nanoparticles & The Future of Medical Diagnostics – Chad Mirkin – NANOSPHERE
“When you arrange DNA in this format [as helical strands attached by-end to points on a nano gold cluster / sphere], you get an interesting property where these types of structures will [freely enter human cells]; whereas linear DNA [will be blocked by the cell wall]. … Once you can get these types of structures inside cells, you now can begin to flip genetic switches [i.e., modify DNA from within the cell]…”
This was already well underway in 2012.

“Many Chinese merchant in gold-rush era Oroville traded in gold dust. Indeed, gold dust was also the local currency.”
Thoth & Hermes Through to the Magna Carta & US Constitution — Weights Measures
Thoth, Hermes, civilization and the law. Ancient symbolism, law and gods related to weights and measures and although the gods may have gone the importance of their purpose remains as valid to us now as it did in the ancient past.
