Molecular imaging and darkfield microspectroscopy of live cells using gold plasmonic nanoparticles (2009, background): “While gold is generally unreactive, silver reacts easily with oxygen which may limit its application for cellular and in vivo imaging due to biocompatibility concerns [47].”

A review of the in vivo and in vitro toxicity of silver and gold particulates: Particle attributes and biological mechanisms responsible for the observed toxicity (2010, methodology): “Liu et al. (2007) report the effects of nano-Cu/LDPE after insertion on the corresponding factors involved in irregular bleeding and pain are lower than those of bulk copper, and its mechanism of reducing the side effects of IUD might be related to inhibition of local prostaglandins and tissue plasm”
Single metal nanoparticles: optical detection, spectroscopy and applications (2011, background): “Metal particles with the proper surface chemistry have a low cytotoxicity compared with other materials [107, 314, 315], and when only some tens of nanoparticles are taken up by the cell in view of a single-particle study, toxicity is probably negligible.”
