The interplay of lung surfactant proteins and lipids assimilates the macrophage clearance of nanoparticles.

The interplay of lung surfactant proteins and lipids assimilates the macrophage clearance of nanoparticles.

The peripheral lungs are a potential entrance portal for nanoparticles into the human body due to their large surface area. The fact that nanoparticles can be deposited in the alveolar region of the lungs is of interest for pulmonary drug delivery strategies and is of equal importance for toxicologi...
