Binding of pulmonary surfactant proteins to carbon nanotubes; potential for damage to lung immune defense mechanisms [PDF]
, 2007 Potential pulmonary toxicity of carbon nanotubes is a research area that has received considerable attention. Surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) are collectin proteins that are secreted by airway epithelial cells in the lung.

Modulation of Pulmonary Fibrosis by Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Phosphatidylethanolamine In Vitro and In Vivo. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by excessive collagen deposition and impaired lung function. Pulmonary surfactant may modulate fibroblast activity and offer therapeutic benefits.

Clinical biological and genetic heterogeneity of the inborn errors of pulmonary surfactant metabolism [PDF]
, 2001 Pulmonary surfactant is a multimolecular complex located at the air-water interface within the alveolus to which a range of physical (surface-active properties) and immune functions has been assigned. This complex consists of a surface-active lipid layer

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1982 Pulmonary surfactant reduces the surface tension of the alveolar air-liquid interface, thereby providing mechanical stability and preventing alveolar atelectasis. More than 50% of surfactant is dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, a material that is capable of reducing the surface tension of the alveolar interface to uniquely low values.

Surfactant function in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome [PDF]
, 1998 The function of pulmonary surfactant of a group of 14 preterm neonates (birth weight 907 +/- 60 g) who suffered from severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and who had received exogenous bovine lipid extracted surfactant on the first day of life was ...

New therapy by surfactant to avoid neuro/psychiatric problems caused by cerebral hypoxia
European Psychiatry, 2021 Introduction Covid-19 causes neuro/psychiatric problems by cerebral hypoxia. Objectives My therapy could allow us to cross Covid-19 infection by minimizing both immediate and chronic lung damage and would avoid many deaths and neuro/psychiatric ...

AIDS patients have increased surfactant protein D but normal mannose binding lectin levels in lung fluid. [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) are collectins that have opsonic and immunoregulatory functions, are found in lung fluid and interact with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
