DOI: 10.1089/jamp.2017.1412
Abstract: BACKGROUND Secondary lung infections are the primary cause of morbidity associated with cystic fibrosis lung disease. Aerosolized antibiotic inhalation is potentially advantageous but has limited effectiveness due to altered airway aerodynamics and deposition patterns that… read more here.

Abstract: We formulate a simple effective model to describe molecular interactions in a lipid monolayer and calculate the line tension between coexisting domains. The model represents lipid molecules in terms of two-dimensional anisotropic particles on the… read more here.
