The mammalian lung´ s structural design is optimized to serve its main function: gas
exchange. It takes place in the alveolar region (parenchyma) where air and blood are …

The main function of the lung is to perform gas exchange while maintaining lung
homeostasis despite environmental pathogenic and non-pathogenic elements contained in …

Macrophages are present in mammals from midgestation, contributing to physiologic
homeostasis throughout life. Macrophages arise from yolk sac and foetal liver progenitors …

Macrophages are tissue‐resident myeloid cells with essential roles in host defense, tissue
repair, and organ homeostasis. The lung harbors a large number of macrophages that …

The rapid development of nanotechnology is opening a huge world of promising
possibilities in healthcare, but this is also increasing the necessity to study the potential risk …

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a lipid-protein complex essential to stabilise the delicate
structure of mammalian alveoli along with successive compression-expansion respiratory …

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of lipids and proteins assembled and secreted by the
alveolar epithelium into the thin layer of fluid coating the respiratory surface of lungs. There …

Pulmonary surfactant is a crucial and dynamic lung structure whose primary functions are to
reduce alveolar surface tension and facilitate breathing. Though disruptions in surfactant …

Pulmonary surfactant is a membrane-based lipid-protein system essential for the process of
breathing, which coats and stabilizes the whole respiratory surface and possesses …

This work explores the potential for strategizing pulmonary surfactant (PS) for drug delivery
over the respiratory air-liquid interface: the interfacial delivery. The efficacy of PS-and …
