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

Lungfishes are the closest extant relatives of tetrapods and preserve ancestral traits linked
with the water-to-land transition. However, their huge genome sizes have hindered …
