The role of surface charge in the interaction of nanoparticles with model pulmonary surfactants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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.
