“…More recently, McLean et al encapsulated Au 25 (Captopril) 18 nanoclusters in polyacrylamide nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy purposes. 70 Au 25 (Captopril) 18 nanoclusters, unlike the photosensitizer used in the study by Cepraga et al , have limited potential for conjugation and consequently low cellular uptake. However, by embedding the nanoclusters in poly(acrylamide) NPs, the authors were able to combine and exploit the desirable properties of both the water-soluble antifouling polymer as well as the two-photon absorbing metal nanocluster.…”

Antifouling polymers are materials that can resist nonspecific interactions with cells, proteins, and other biomolecules. Typically, they are hydrophilic polymers with polar or charged moieties that are capable of strong...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
