Pulmonary and gastric surfactants. A comparison of the effect of surface requirements on function and phospholipid composition

, 2001
Surfactant is present in the alveoli and conductive airways of mammalian lungs. The presence of surface active agents was, moreover, demonstrated for avian tubular lungs and for the stomach and intestine.

Surfactants: past, present and future

Journal of Perinatology, 2008
In 1929 Kurt von Neergaard performed experiments suggesting the presence of pulmonary surfactant and its relevance to the newborn's first breath. Almost 25 years later, Richard Pattle, John Clements and Chris Macklin, each working on the effects of nerve

Green Fuel Combustion Synthesis of CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Applications

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silver‐doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Ag/CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using Ricinus communis seed extract as a bio‐derived fuel in a solution combustion method. The combustion reaction, carried out at 450°C with AgNO3 and (NH4)2[Ce (NO3)6] as metal precursors, produced CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 NPs.

Pulmonary surfactants and their role in pathophysiology of lung disorders

, 2013
5-22Surfactant is an agent that decreases the surface tension between two media. The surface tension between gaseous-aqueous interphase in the lungs is decreased by the presence of a thin layer of fluid known as pulmonary surfactant.

Advances in Chitosan Nanoparticles: A Comprehensive Review of Properties, Synthesis, Characterization, Multidisciplinary Applications, and Future Perspectives

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights the synthesis of chitosan nanoparticles from natural sources, the thorough characterization of them, and use of microscopic and spectroscopic methods. It emphasizes that it has some indispensable properties such as being non‐toxic, antimicrobial, and capable of controlled drug release.

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Human Fibroblast‐Myeloid cell tissue atlas across lung, synovium, skin and heart

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background The availability of single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq data) in different tissues and disease states provides an opportunity to compare cellular subsets and identify common and unique cellular activation. In this study, we aimed to characterize shared and tissue‐specific myeloid and stromal phenotypes and to uncover key cellular subtypes ...
