[ 1 ] - Assessment of pulmonary mucociliary transport using magnetic nanoparticles: influence of their surface potential

Objective(s): Inhaled aerocontaminants are removed from the lungs by pulmonary mucociliary transport (MCT) as an important defense mechanism. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of the surface potential of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on the MCT in murine lungs by use of magnetic particle imaging (MPI).Materials and Methods: Three kinds of MNPs (carboxymethyl dextran m...
