Inorganic nano particles with diverse functionalites hold great promise toaddress current challenges in biomedical research. However, control ofinteractions between NPs and cell membrane in a native biologicalenvironment is still hardly achieved due to nonspecific serum proteinadsorption. Herein, we report that through surface engineering,luminescent gold nano particles can exhibit pH-dependent membraneadsorption even in the presence of serum proteins, which opens up a pathto control in vivo behaviors of inorganic NPs at the in vivo level.
