A finite membrane element formulation for surfactants

, 2019
Surfactants play an important role in various physiological and biomechanical applications. An example is the respiratory system, where pulmonary surfactants facilitate the breathing and reduce the possibility of airway blocking by lowering the surface ...

Procedural success and safety of a standardized less invasive surfactant administration protocol using fentanyl premedication and video laryngoscopy in preterm infants <32 weeks’ gestation

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundLess Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) has been established for treating respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants, but the impact of pharmacological analgesia or video laryngoscopy on procedural success and safety remains ...

Budesonide/formoterol enhances the expression of pro Surfactant Protein-B in lungs of COPD patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Pulmonary surfactants are essential components of lung homeostasis. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), surfactant expression decreases in lungs whereas, there is a paradoxical increase in protein expression in plasma.

YAP regulates alveolar epithelial cell differentiation and AGER via NFIB/KLF5/NKX2-1

iScience, 2021
Summary: Ventilation is dependent upon pulmonary alveoli lined by two major epithelial cell types, alveolar type-1 (AT1) and 2 (AT2) cells. AT1 cells mediate gas exchange while AT2 cells synthesize and secrete pulmonary surfactants and serve as ...
