• demonstrated insignificant cell toxicity (Figure 2A,B) for particle concentrations up to 2.5 × 1010 mL−1. At very high concentrations and after 48 h of incubation time the cell viability decreased to 83% and 76% only for AuNRs-PDA-R123-folate. We attributed this effect to a better uptake of targeted

• nanoparticles compared with PEG-coated particles. HeLa (F+) and HEK 293 (F−) cells were incubated with AuNR-PDA-R123-folate and AuNR-PDA-R123-PEG at a nanoparticle dose of 1010 mL−1 for 2 h. Fluorescent images of randomly selected cells under 488 nm light excitation were obtained using a Leica DM 2500
