Three types of nanoparticles, including hydrophobic nanoparticles, hydrophilic nanoparticles, and hydrophilic nanoparticles coated with lipids, were found by our molecular dynamics simulations to be transported across the pulmonary surfactant monolayer, but via different pathways, which affect their subsequent interactions with target cell membranes.

Hydrophobic Aggregation

Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that dioxin likely accumulates in cell membranes more than its congeners (anthracene, tetrahydrodioxin, 3,3′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl, and 1,2-dihydroxytetrahydrodibenzo-p-dioxin).
