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…
