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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
