Gold–silver core–shell
nanoparticles stabilized with
a common sweetener, aspartame (AuNP@Ag@Asm), combine the antimicrobial
properties of silver with the photoinduced plasmon-mediated photothermal
effects of gold. The particles were tested with several bacterial
strains, while biocompatibility was verified with human dermal fibroblasts.
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.
