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 …

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

Integrating basic and clinical research on the biophysical and physiological functions of
pulmonary surfactants, this practical reference presents thorough, cutting-edge coverage on …

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid/protein complex synthesized by the alveolar epithelium and
secreted into the airspaces, where it coats and protects the large respiratory air–liquid …

Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins which is secreted by the epithelial
type II cells into the alveolar space. Its main function is to reduce the surface tension at the …

This review describes:(i) perturbations of the membrane lipids that are induced by integral
membrane proteins, and reciprocally,(ii) the effects that the lipids may have on the function …

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid–protein complex, synthesized and secreted by the respiratory
epithelium of lungs to the alveolar spaces, whose main function is to reduce the surface …

Surfactant protein B is a small homodimeric protein that is found tightly associated with
surfactant lipids in the alveolar space. In this review, we discuss the actions of SP-B on …

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid–protein complex that lines and stabilizes the respiratory
interface in the alveoli, allowing for gas exchange during the breathing cycle. At the same …
