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…
Nanoparticle-lipid interaction: Job scattering plots to differentiate vesicle aggregation from supported lipid bilayer formation
F. Mousseau, E. K. Oikonomou, V. Baldim +2
The impact of nanomaterials on lung fluids or on the plasma membrane of living cells has prompted researchers to examine the interactions between nanoparticles and lipid vesicles.…
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…
Hierarchical self-assembly of nanoparticles for optical metamaterials
Sergio Gomez-Graña, Aurélie Le Beulze, Mona Treguer-Delapierre +15
Hierarchical self-assembly arranges nanostructures at different length scales. It gradually becomes an effective method of fabricating artificial metamaterials from composite nanos…
