Abstract
Pulmonary diseases such as lung cancer, asthma and tuberculosis have remained one of the common challenges globally. Polymeric micelles (PMs) have emerged as an effective technique for achieving targeted drug delivery for a local as well as a systemic effect. These PMs encapsulate and protect hydrophobic drugs, increase pulmonary targeting, decrease side effects and enhance drug efficacy through the inhalation route. In the current review, emphasis has been placed on the different barriers encountered by the drugs given via the pulmonary route and the mechanism of PMs in achieving drug targeting. The applications of PMs in different pulmonary diseases have also been discussed in detail.

Abstract
The current study focuses on the use of scanning laser optical tomography (SLOT) in imaging of the mouse lung ex vivo. SLOT is a highly efficient fluorescence microscopy technique allowing rapid scanning of samples of a size of several millimeters, thus enabling volumetric visualization by using intrinsic contrast mechanisms of previously fixed lung lobes. Here, we demonstrate the imaging of airways, blood vessels, and parenchyma from whole, optically cleared mouse lung lobes with a resolution down to the level of single alveoli using absorption and autofluorescence scan modes. The internal structure of the lung can then be analyzed nondestructively and quantitatively in three-dimensional datasets in any preferred planar orientation. Moreover, the procedure preserves the microscopic structure of the lung and allows for subsequent correlative histologic studies. In summary, the current study has shown that SLOT is a valuable technique to study the internal structure of the mouse lung.
