Pulmonary surfactants and the respiratory-renal connection in steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome of childhood [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Summary: Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) in childhood is usually due to minimal change disease (MCD). Unlike many glomerular conditions, SSNS/MCD is commonly precipitated by respiratory infections. Of interest, pulmonary inflammation releases

The Role of Pulmonary Surfactants in the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in COVID-19 [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Lung alveolar type-II (AT-II) cells produce pulmonary surfactant (PS), consisting of proteins and lipids. The lipids in PS are primarily responsible for reducing the air-fluid surface tension inside the alveoli of the lungs and to prevent atelectasis ...

Pulmonary Surfactants: a New Therapeutic Target in Asthma. [PDF]
Curr Allergy Asthma Rep, 2020 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lung tissues are highly susceptible to airway inflammation as they are inevitably exposed to inhaled pathogens and allergens. In the lungs, clearance of infectious agents and regulation of inflammatory responses are important for the ...

Phase-field modeling droplet dynamics with soluble surfactants [PDF]
, 2010 Using lattice Boltzmann approach, a phase-field model is proposed for simulating droplet motion with soluble surfactants. The model can recover the Langmuir and Frumkin adsorption isotherms in equilibrium.

Interfacial mechanisms for stability of surfactant-laden films. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Thin liquid films are central to everyday life. They are ubiquitous in modern technology (pharmaceuticals, coatings), consumer products (foams, emulsions) and also serve vital biological functions (tear film of the eye, pulmonary surfactants in the lung).
