A finite membrane element formulation for surfactants
, 2019 Surfactants play an important role in various physiological and biomechanical applications. An example is the respiratory system, where pulmonary surfactants facilitate the breathing and reduce the possibility of airway blocking by lowering the surface ...

Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.

OH-Radical Oxidation of Lung Surfactant Protein B on Aqueous Surfaces [PDF]
, 2018 Air pollutants generate reactive oxygen species on lung surfaces. Here we report how hydroxyl radicals (·OH) injected on the surface of water react with SP-B_(1–25), a 25-residue polypeptide surrogate of human lung surfactant protein B.

The structure of latherin, a surfactant allergen protein from horse sweat and saliva [PDF]
, 2013 Latherin is a highly surface-active allergen protein found in the sweat and saliva of horses and other equids. Its surfactant activity is intrinsic to the protein in its native form, and is manifest without associated lipids or glycosylation.
