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 …

The respiratory surface in the mammalian lung is stabilized by pulmonary surfactant, a
membrane-based system composed of multiple lipids and specific proteins, the primary …

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 …

Considerable progress has been made in understanding the basic mechanisms that
regulate fluid and protein exchange across the endothelial and epithelial barriers of the lung …

Particulate matter (PM), which is the primary contributor to air pollution, has become a
pervasive global health threat. When PM enters into a respiratory tract, the first body tissues …

Protective ventilation strategies for the injured lung currently revolve around the use of low
Vt, ostensibly to avoid volutrauma, together with positive end-expiratory pressure to increase …

The interaction of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with air/water interfaces plays a crucial role
in their overall stability in solution. We aim to understand this behavior using pendant bubble …

Colloid and Interface Science in Pharmaceutical Research and Development describes the
role of colloid and surface chemistry in the pharmaceutical sciences. It gives a detailed …

At low mole fractions, cholesterol segregates into 10-to 100-nm-diameter nanodomains
dispersed throughout primarily dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) domains in mixed …

How acute respiratory distress syndrome progresses from underlying disease or trauma is
poorly understood, and there are no generally accepted treatments resulting in a 40 …
