VCAM1 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Pulmonary vascular endothelial cells are the main target cells during ALI, and therefore the mitochondrial targeting antioxidant derivative triphenylphosphine-melatonin (TPP-MLT) was encapsulated in VCAM-1 antibodies-conjugated nanostructured lipid carriers (VCAM@TPP-MLT NLCs) for lung targeting delivery.
