Internalization of GNSs and GNBs by HepG2 cells and Hep-orgs. (a) CLSM images showing the internalization of GNSs and GNBs by HepG2 cells. (b) CLSM images showing the internalization of GNSs and GNBs by Hep-orgs at different time periods (6 h, 12 h, and 24 h). Red: GNSs/GNBs labeled with Rhodamine B. The scanning height was 200 μm with a scale interval of 10 μm. (c) Mean fluorescence intensity of the internalization of GNSs and GNBs by Hep-orgs at different time periods (6 h, 12 h, 24 h). (d) Au element contents after the incubation with GNSs and GNBs at the concentration of 10 µg/mL for different time periods (6 h, 12 h, 24 h)
