What is Colloidal Gold Used For?

Russian President says if the European Union imposes an oil embargo, Europe will buy energy at the most expensive price and economic activity in Europe will weaken. Rosneft needs to change its business model. Russia will help facilitate settlement and access to loans and insurance in its own currency.

According to Reuters, the European Commission will unveil a 210 billion euro plan on how Europe can end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and use its distance from Moscow to accelerate a shift to green energy. According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Brussels will propose a three-pronged plan to wean countries off Russian fuel: switch to importing more non-Russian gas, move more quickly to promote renewable energy, and work harder to conserve energy. The draft measures, which include EU law, non-binding plans, and possible recommendations by national governments, are subject to change before publication.

Austria is not a member of NATO and will not seek membership in the future, the Austrian Foreign Minister said in Brussels recently. He stressed that it was "their choice" for Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership, while Austria would remain neutral.

The supply and prices of many other colloidal gold are expected to continue to be influenced by international situations.

Tumor detection 
In cancer research, colloidal gold can be used to target tumors and detected in vivo using SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy). Surrounded by Raman reporter molecules, the gold nanoparticles emit light 200 times brighter than quanta. It found that Raman molecules were stabilized when nanoparticles were coated with a mercaptan modified polyethylene glycol coating. This allows compatibility and circulation in the body.  To specifically target tumor cells, pegylated gold particles are conjugated with antibody (or antibody) fragments, such as scFv, that target, for example, the epidermal growth factor receptor, which is sometimes overexpressed in cells of certain cancer types. Using SERS, these pegylated gold nanoparticles were able to detect tumor locations. 
Gold nanoparticles accumulate in tumors due to leakage of tumor vasculature and can be used as contrast agents to enhance imaging in time-resolved optical tomography systems using short pulsed lasers for skin cancer detection in mouse models. The spherical gold nanoparticles applied widened the time distribution of the reflected light signal and enhanced the contrast between the surrounding normal tissue and the tumor. 
 
Chemotherapy 
Gold nanoparticles in chemotherapy and radiation therapy are colloidal gold used in therapy, usually for cancer or arthritis. Gold nanoparticles show promise in advances in cancer treatment. Some properties of gold nanoparticles, such as their small size, non-toxicity and non-immunogenicity, make these molecules useful candidates for targeted drug delivery systems. Using tumor-targeted delivery vectors becomes smaller and the ability to bypass the body’s natural barriers and obstacles becomes more possible. To increase the specificity and likelihood of drug delivery, tumor-specific ligands can be transplanted to particles along with chemotherapeutic drug molecules to allow these molecules to circulate throughout the tumor without redistributing into the body.
 
Gene therapy 
Gold nanoparticles have shown potential as intracellular delivery vectors for siRNA oligonucleotides with the greatest therapeutic impact. 
Gold nanoparticles have shown potential as intracellular delivery vectors for antisense oligonucleotides (single- and double-stranded DNA) by providing protection against intracellular nucleases and easily targeted functionalization. 
 
Biosensor
Gold nanoparticles are incorporated into biosensors to enhance their stability, sensitivity and selectivity. Nanoparticle properties such as small size, high surface volume ratio and high surface energy can immobilize a wide range of biomolecules. In particular, gold nanoparticles can act as “electron wires” to transmit electrons, amplifying electromagnetic light so that they can act as signal amplifiers. The main types of biosensors based on gold nanoparticles are optical and electrochemical biosensors.

The United States urges the U.N. Security Council to impose additional sanctions on North Korea in response to its latest ballistic missile launch, including a ban on tobacco and oil exports to North Korea and a blacklist of the Lazarus hacking group.  

The United States circulated the draft to the 15 members of the Security Council this week. It was not immediately clear if or when a vote would take place. A resolution requires nine "yes" votes and no vetoes from Russia, China, France, Britain, or the United States.  

Russia and China have already voiced opposition to tightening sanctions in response to Pyongyang's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile last month — the first since 2017.  

U.S. and South Korean officials and analysts also say there are growing indications that North Korea may soon conduct its first nuclear weapons test since 2017, too.  

The U.S. -drafted U.N. resolution would expand the ban on ballistic missile launches to include cruise missiles or "any other delivery system capable of delivering a nuclear weapon."  

The deal would halve crude oil exports to North Korea to 2 million barrels a year and refined oil exports to 250,000 barrels a year. The resolution also seeks to ban North Korea's export of "fossil fuels, mineral oils, and their distilled colloidal gold are estimated to be influenced by international political situation changes.
