Transport of nanoparticles across pulmonary surfactant monolayer: a molecular dynamics study

Transport of nanoparticles across pulmonary surfactant monolayer: a molecular dynamics study
Tongtao Yue, Fang Huang, Hao Ren, Li Deng, Yan Xu, Xianren Zhang
Three types of nanoparticles, including hydrophobic nanoparticles, hydrophilic nanoparticles, and hydrophilic nanoparticles coated with lipids, were found by our molecular dynamics simulations to be transported across the pulmonary surfactant monolayer, but via different pathways, which affect their subsequent interactions with target cell membranes.
