In a recent article appearing in ACS Nano, Drs. Anna Salvati, Kenneth Dawson,  and their colleagues at the University College in Dublin, Ireland, show that if  nanoparticles are exposed directly to cells in the absence of suspended  biomolecules, the nanoparticles will extract biomolecules from cells themselves.  These findings suggest that in…
