The role of surface charge in the interaction of nanoparticles with model pulmonary surfactants [PDF]
Inhaled nanoparticles traveling through the airways are able to reach the respiratory zone of the lungs. In such event, the incoming particles first enter in contact with the liquid lining the alveolar epithelium, the pulmonary surfactant. The pulmonary surfactant is composed of lipids and proteins that are assembled into large vesicular structures ...
