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 ...

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 ...

A nationwide study led by researchers at UCSF provides evidence that inhaled nitric oxide is safe and effective for the prevention of the most common type of long-term lung disease of very premature ...

You have millions of air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. These air sacs move oxygen into your blood. Alveolar walls contain surfactant. This is a substance made of fats, proteins, and other substances.

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 ...

Playing tag, riding bikes, and climbing trees are among the many joys of childhood that leave kids happily worn out and panting heavily for air. For those with lung disorders, growing up can look ...

New discovery on the causes of PAP lung disease can also offer solutions for treating obesity and heart disease. The research group has identified a genetic defect that causes the accumulation of ...
