Exciting characteristic features of nanomaterials in contrast to their bulk phase require shape
control of morphologies at the nanometer scale. Surfactants, a unique class of surface active …

The formation of protein coronae on nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated almost
exclusively in serum, despite the prevailing route of exposure being inhalation of airborne …

Inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) have high-deposition rates in the alveolar region of the lung but
the effects of pulmonary surfactant (PS) on nanoparticle bioreactivity are unclear. Here, the …

Accompanying increased commercial applications and production of silver nanomaterials is
an increased probability of human exposure, with inhalation a key route. Nanomaterials that …

Multiple studies have examined the direct cellular toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
However, the lung is a complex biological system with multiple cell types and a lipid-rich …

Background: Recent studies have shown that colloidal particles can disrupt the interfacial
properties of lung surfactant and thus key functional abilities of lung surfactant. However, the …

We present a conceptual framework that can be used to assign risk bands to inhaled low
aspect ratio nanoparticles starting from exposure bands assigned to a specific exposure …

This paper reports a rapid HILIC-ESI–MS assay to quantify dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
(DPPC) as component of lung surfactant for nanosafety studies. The technique was used to …

The time-dependency of lung recovery after 3 intranasal instillations per week during four
weeks of distilled water (C groups) or particles (15 μg) from traffic (U groups) or biomass …
