Molecular insights on the interference of simplified lung surfactant models by gold nanoparticle pollutants

Yes === Inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) are experienced by the first biological barrier inside the alveolus known as lung surfactant (LS), a surface tension reducing agent, consisting of phospholipids and proteins in the form of the monolayer at the air-water interface. The monolayer surface tension is...
