Compared to traditional surfactants like alkylphenol ethoxylates, which face mounting regulatory pressure due to endocrine ...

Preclinical studies suggest that exogenous surfactant may be of value in the treatment of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and two phase 2 clinical trials have shown a trend toward ...

Sure, your hair is silky, clean and smells amazing but if only it felt thicker/stronger/healthier/less frizzy/just perfect… ...

The solution to the problem posed by such large surface areas in the lung is a pulmonary surfactant that creates a lipid-rich phase separating alveolar gas and liquid at the surfaces of epithelial ...

The innovation—a handheld dry powder inhaler for newborns in respiratory distress—recently cleared a proof-of-concept ...

To evaluate repeat surfactant therapy for the treatment of respiratory failure associated with postsurfactant slump in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) by characterizing the population of ...

Surfactant protein A (SP-A)and SP-D are members of a family of immune proteins known as collectins, or collagen-like lectins. SP-A and SP-D interact with various pathogens through their lectin ...

Stanford University's Annelise Barron has developed a synthetic version of something called lung surfactant. Lung surfactant coats the tiny air sacs in the lung. Without it, every breath would be ...

In 2020, a new surfactant won the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the 20th Green and Sustainable Chemistry Awards event hosted by the Japan Association for Chemical Innovation.

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper ...

Courtesy: TU Dresden A new technique dubbed surfactant-monolayer-assisted interfacial synthesis (SMAIS) can produce few-layer 2D polymer crystals on the surface of water. This is the first time that ...

Abbreviations: IQR, interquartile range; N/A, not applicable; pro-SFTPB, pro–surfactant protein B; SD, standard deviation. P values are for Satterthwaite's unequal variance t test, unless otherwise ...
