In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers discuss the role of a surfactant-mediated inflammatory response employed by human lungs against the severe acute respiratory ...

In late 2019, as the US saw a surge of vaping-related lung injuries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned against e-cigarette use. Despite the warning, e-cigarette sales have ...

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper and ...

Newborns who lack natural surfactants develop respiratory distress syndrome. Surfactants are materials that reduce liquid surface tension, enabling carbon dioxide and oxygen to easily exchange as ...

A research team analyzed the fundamental properties and structures of the naturally occurring substances that help human lungs expand and contract, providing insight into how the substances help us ...

Computerised chest radiograph analysis revealed that the surfactant treatment led to better aeration in the right lung than in the left lung among infants born extremely preterm with respiratory ...

The novel agent molgramostim improved pulmonary gas exchange in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, a randomized trial showed. In this rare condition, surfactant builds up in the alveoli as ...
