Fe2O3 nanoparticles disrupt microstructure and reduce the viscoelasticity of simulated asthma airway mucus for potential airway mucus clearance applications

Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been developed as carriers to transport drugs through airway mucus (AM); however, their impacts on the rheological properties of AM, especially in disease states, are unknown. In this study, we investigated the abilities of Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in various media to a...
