Abstract

NCs shifts their biodistribution in female BALB/c nude mice from liver and spleen to kidneys, highlighting the tunability of organ targeting through ligand engineering. The methodology developed here not only boosts the surface engineering to molecular resolution, but also provides a platform for studying ligand effects of metal nanomaterials at the same resolution.
