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 and ...

Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 2428 premature infants, comparing intratracheal budesonide plus pulmonary surfactant with pulmonary surfactant alone.

Bronchiolitis remains the leading cause of hospital admission in infancy and of paediatric intensive care unit use.1 Management of bronchiolitis has been largely limited to supportive care, reflecting ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers discuss the role of a surfactant-mediated inflammatory response employed by human lungs against the severe acute respiratory ...

Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a risk factor for lung carcinogenesis. This study was performed to characterize mutagenesis and mutational target genes underlying lung carcinogenesis in patients ...

In late 2019, as the US saw a surge of vaping-related lung injuries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned against e-cigarette use. Despite the warning, e-cigarette sales have ...

A research team analyzed the fundamental properties and structures of the naturally occurring substances that help human lungs expand and contract, providing insight into how the substances help us ...
