Gold nanoparticles in cancer cells, light micrograph. Gold nanoparticles have many properties that make them exciting objects of study in cancer research. For example, they are non-toxic, can carry a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and are small enough to reach targets in the body that other delivery systems can't reach. This dark-field light micrograph shows the delivery of gold nanoparticles (yellow dots) into the cytosol of cancer cells. This image was created in 2014, as part of research carried out at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Rice University, USA.
