dGTP-templated facile synthesis of luminescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) in the presence of cisplatin following PEG coating developed spherical composite NPs. The composite NPs delivered cisplatin efficiently into HeLa cells to induce apoptosis-mediated cell death, and simultaneously bioimaged the cellular uptake.
