Facile Synthesis of Monodisperse Gold Nanorods, Gold Nanobipyramids and Gold Nanocups with Different Coatings and Evaluation of Their Cellular Cytotoxicity

Furthermore, compared to GNCs, the toxicity of GNRs and GNBPs against GES-1 cells, RAW 264.7 cells and LX-2 cells was greater. Our research provides an important new understanding of the effects of surface modification on the biocompatibility and the shape of GNPs in the biomedical field.
