Abstract

Chemically engineered nanomaterials have been extensively used in early tumor detection and cancer therapy. Despite the promise shown, their chemical or exogenous nature hinders their application due to their unknown adverse effects. Herein, using a cancer cell environment, fluorescent DNA-gold nanostructures were bio-self-assembled through simple incubation of DNA and Au solutions with cancer cells.
