Lung‐Cardiovascular Interactions and Derangements in ARDS

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.
This review proposes an anatomical near‐ and far‐field framework for lung‐cardiovascular interactions in ARDS. Grounded in pathological and biological studies, the evidence spans pulmonary vascular, right ventricular, and systemic endothelial derangements and reviews available evidence for targeted therapies.

Macrophage lipid efflux regulates the tumour microenvironment in early‐stage lung adenocarcinoma

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
1. Macrophages undergo metabolic rewiring even during early tumourigenesis. 2. Main alterations of macrophages are conserved between human and mice in early‐stage lung adenocarcinoma. 3. Tumour‐associated macrophages are characterised by enhanced lipid efflux 4.

Budesonide and Surfactant Therapy Versus Surfactant Alone on Incidence of Lung Disease in Preterm Infants (BEST Lung): Study Protocol for a Systematic Review and Individual Participant Data Meta‐Analysis With Nested Prospective Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 10, Page 2078-2090, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Combining surfactant with budesonide has been proposed to prevent BPD, but results from existing randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are conflicting.

Biomimetic pulmonary surfactants

Life Sciences, 1994
Considerable progress has been made in the development of defined mixtures of proteins or peptides with phospholipids which mimic the activity of natural pulmonary surfactants. Several of these biomimetic surfactants are active in animal models and clinical syndromes of surfactant deficiency.

Pulmonary surfactant

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1984
The mammalian lung is stabilized by a specialized material, the pulmonary surfactant, which acts by reversibly reducing the surface tension at the air–liquid interface of the lung during breathing. Pulmonary surfactant contains approximately 90% lipid and 10% proteins. Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, the major lipid component, appears to be primarily

The Pulmonary Surfactant System

Hospital Practice, 1990
Surfactant's importance is underscored by the severe morbidity of deficiency states--primary, as in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, or secondary, as in ARDS. Current knowledge of surfactant synthesis and metabolism is reviewed. Clinically, the effectiveness of exogenous surfactant in RDS has prompted investigation of its administration in ARDS.

Pulmonary surfactant and tuberculosis

Tuberculosis, 2009
Mycobacterium tuberculosis comes in contact with pulmonary surfactant, alveolar macrophages and type II epithelial cells. Alveolar type II epithelial cells secrete pulmonary surfactant, a complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins lining the alveolar surface, while alveolar macrophages are involved in surfactant catabolism.

Pulmonary Surfactant Therapy

New England Journal of Medicine, 1993
In 1959, not long after surfactant had been identified as critical to maintaining lung inflation at low transpulmonary pressures,1,2 Avery and Mead3 reported that saline extracts from the lungs of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome lacked the low surface tension characteristic of pulmonary surfactant. After several unsuccessful attempts

Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1989
Recent work suggests that surfactant undergoes a complex sequence of metabolic events during its life cycle in the alveolar airspace. The composition, turnover, and metabolism of surfactant, and the possible "control points" in its metabolic pathway that might be compromised in disease states are discussed.
