Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Surface functionalization</bold>: Complete detoxification of gold nanorods was achieved by manipulating the position in the stability map between surface‐adsorbing polyethylene glycol (PEG) and destabilizing ethanol (see picture). This robust procedure complements studies related to the effects of shape when contemplating the nanoparticle–cell interaction.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v4b0zzw" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
