Lung‐Cardiovascular Interactions and Derangements in ARDS
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
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.

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, 1994Considerable 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.

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, 1990Surfactant'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, 2009Mycobacterium 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.

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, 1989Recent 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.
