Abstract |
|
|
|
Since ancient times it has been assumed that gold has healthy properties, and even today, many biomedical applications have been discovered. The number of these discoveries will increase due to the characteristics of gold as manipulable size, shape, composition and conjugation with molecules, functional groups and / or therapeutic agents. In the present review, an overview of the past, present and future about the synthesis methods and applications of gold nanostructures is discussed according to the revision of major scientific papers and the most recent published patents.
