Differential bioreactivity of neutral, cationic and anionic polystyrene nanoparticles with cells from the human alveolar compartment: robust response of alveolar type 1 epithelial cells [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Engineered nanoparticles (NP) are being developed for inhaled drug delivery. This route is non-invasive and the major target; alveolar epithelium provides a large surface area for drug administration and absorption, without first pass ...

Enterococcus faecalis strains show culture heterogeneity in cell surface charge [PDF]
Microbiology, 2006 Adhesion of micro-organisms to biotic and abiotic surfaces is an important virulence factor and involves different types of interactions.Enterococcus faecalis, a human commensal and an important opportunistic pathogen, has the ability to adhere to surfaces. Biliary stents frequently become clogged with bacterial biofilms, withE.
