Abstract:
Ferritin-encapsulated gold nanoparticles (AuFt) resist formation of a detectable stable protein corona under laminar microfluidic flow conditions. This ferritin "stealth" behaviour preserves AuFt monomers and suggests that ferritin coating improves nanoparticle biological identity for in vivo biomedical applications.
