Sol-gel transition induced by alumina nanoparticles in a model pulmonary surfactant
Jean-François Berret, Fanny Mousseau, Rémi Le Borgne et Evdokia K. Oikonomou
Inhaled airborne particles smaller than 100 nm entering the airways have been shown to deposit in significant amount in the alveolar region of the lungs. The interior of the alveol…
Revealing the Pulmonary Surfactant Corona on Silica Nano-particles by Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy
Fanny Mousseau, Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Annie Vacher +3
When inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) deposit in alveoli, they transit through the pulmonary surfactant (PS), a biofluid made of proteins and phospholipidic vesicles. They acquire a cor…
Effect of Nanoparticles on the Bulk Shear Viscosity of a Lung Surfactant Fluid
L. P. A. Thai, F. Mousseau, E. K. Oikonomou +2
Inhaled nanoparticles (< 100 nm) reaching the deep lung region first interact with the pulmonary surfactant, a thin lipid film lining the alveolar epithelium. To date, most biophys…
Design and applications of a fluorescent labeling technique for lipid and surfactant preformed vesicles
Fanny Mousseau, Jean-François Berret, Evdokia K. Oikonomou
Amphiphilic molecules such as surfactants, lipids and block copolymers can be assembled into bilayers and form vesicles. Fluorescent membrane labeling methods require the use of dy…
The role of surface charge in the interaction of nanoparticles with model pulmonary surfactants
F. Mousseau, J. -F. Berret
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 liqui…
Supported pulmonary surfactant bilayers on silica nanoparticles: Formulation, stability and impact on lung epithelial cells
F. Mousseau, C. Puisney, S. Mornet +5
Studies have shown that following exposure to particulate matter, the ultrafine fraction (< 100 nm) may deposit along the respiratory tract down to the alveolar region. To assess t…
Fabric Softener/Cellulose Nanocrystal Interaction: A Model For Assessing Surfactant Deposition On Cotton
E. K. Oikonomou, F. Mousseau, N. Christov +6
There is currently a renewed interest for improving household and personal care formulations to provide more environment friendly products. Fabric conditioners used as softeners ha…
Polyelectrolyte assisted charge titration spectrometry: applications to latex and oxide nanoparticles
F. Mousseau, L. Vitorazi, L. Herrmann +2
The electrostatic charge density of particles is of paramount importance for the control of the dispersion stability. Conventional methods use potentiometric, conductometric or tur…
Biophysicochemical interaction of a clinical pulmonary surfactant with nano-alumina
F. Mousseau, R. Le Borgne, E. Seyrek +1
We report on the interaction of pulmonary surfactant composed of phospholipids and proteins with nanometric alumina (Al2O3) in the context of lung exposure and nanotoxicity. We stu…
