Article Synopsis
- Gold nanoparticles are being used in engineering and medical sciences due to their unique properties, particularly surface plasmon resonance and high density, which enhance cellular uptake.
- The research explores a non-viral gene transfer method utilizing gold nanoparticles functionalized with organic polymers, specifically using sodium borohydride and chitosan oligosaccharides for synthesis.
- Transfection efficiency experiments showed that nanoparticles conjugated with chitosan oligosaccharides achieved a 60% transfection rate in cell cultures, highlighting their potential in gene therapy applications.
