Recent developments in studies of the uptake and toxicity of both gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanostructures (NS) in drug delivery systems have shown that physicochemical properties play an important role. Physicochemical properties of engineered NS such as size, shape, coordination chemistry, surface...
