Gold Nanostars synthesis and functionalization with organic molecules -- 2. Physical properties of Gold Nanostars -- 3. Applications of gold nanostars: nanosensing, thermal therapy, delivery systems -- 4. Interactions of gold nanostars with cells.This Brief focuses on the synthesis, functionalization techniques, optical properties and biomedical application of gold nanostars (GNS). Various facilities of gold nanostars synthesis as well as functionalization of GNS with PEG, organic dyes, bioactive compounds are discussed. The authors discuss physical origin of the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonances and the way the nano-environment affects them. The implication of the LSPR of gold nanostars surface enhanced Raman scattering is also discussed. The emphasis has been done on the application of GNS for current and emerge needs of medicine, biology and pharmacy. Moreover, properties of gold nanostars as contrast agents for in vivo imaging and interaction of GNS with cells are also discussed in this Brief.SpringerBriefs in Materials,2192-1091MetalsBiomedical engineeringNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresNanochemistryBiomaterialsMetallic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z16000Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XNanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Nanochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C33000Biomaterialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000Metals.Biomedical engineering.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Nanochemistry.Biomaterials.Metallic Materials.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Nanoscale Science and Technology.Nanochemistry.Biomaterials.615.6 Chirico Giuseppeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut769917Borzenkov Mykolaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autPallavicini Piersandroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298635303321Gold Nanostars2088435UNINA
