Abstract
This review provides an overview of experimental and computational results on the interaction between nanocarriers of different natures and pulmonary surfactant models that have appeared in the literature in the last five years. The purpose is to highlight the changes in the nanoscopic structure and functionality of the pulmonary surfactant layer due to the interaction with nanocarriers and nanoparticles, which are inorganic, polymeric, or consist of biomolecules. The information gathered contributes to the development of carriers' nanotechnology, thus allowing specific and controlled drug delivery while being minimally invasive by crossing pulmonary surfactant without altering its structure and function.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
