The effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on pulmonary surfactant function and ultrastructure

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary surfactant reduces surface tension and is present at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli where inhaled nanoparticles preferentially deposit. We investigated the effect of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanosized particles (NSP) and microsized particles (MSP) on biophysical surfa...
