Pulmonary surfactant is an essential lipid–protein complex to maintain an operative
respiratory surface at the mammalian lungs. It reduces surface tension at the alveolar air …

Pulmonary surfactant is a critical component of lung function in healthy individuals. It
functions in part by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, thereby allowing for breathing …

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a complicated mixture of approximately 90% lipids and 10%
proteins. It plays an important role in maintaining normal respiratory mechanics by reducing …

The pulmonary surfactant system constitutes an excellent example of how dynamic
membrane polymorphism governs some biological functions through specific lipid–lipid …

To consider the lung as a target for drug delivery and to optimise strategies directed at the
pulmonary route, it is essential to consider the role of pulmonary surfactant, a thin lipid …

Mucus covers all wet epithelia and acts as a protective barrier. In the airways of the lungs,
the viscoelastic mucus meshwork entraps and clears inhaled materials and efficiently …

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 …

Peptoids are a developing class of peptide-like oligomers originally invented for drug
discovery in the early 1990s. While peptides hold great promise for therapeutic applications …

The pulmonary route offers an exceptional, non-invasive administration site for drug
delivery. The principal characteristics that make the lungs an appealing route for drug …

The ability to breathe air represents a fundamental step in vertebrate evolution that was
accompanied by several anatomical and physiological adaptations. The morphology of the …
