title: Microfabrication-compatible nanoporous gold foams as biomaterials for drug delivery.
abstract: Nanoporous gold is a promising material for multi-functional bio-interfaces with its well-characterized surface chemistry, compatibility with conventional micropatterning techniques, electrical conductivity, and high effective surface-area for molecular release. This paper demonstrates its biocompatibility and capability for drug release to modulate cellular response.
