Figure 1From: Carbohydrate functionalization of silver nanoparticles modulates cytotoxicity and cellular uptake Prepared nanoparticles. (A) Different biomolecules on the surface of prepared silver nanoparticles (linker not shown); (B) in cell culture media the nanoparticle-water interface is composed of ligands and ions but also of proteins, the so-called protein corona.Back to article page
