and surfactant apoprotein SP 28-36 in fetal type II cells. We asked whether these effects were maintained during cell monolayer culture. Human fetal lung (18-22 wk gestation) was cultured as ...

Some conditions and injuries can cause overdistention or surfactant dysfunction, which cause the alveoli to collapse. This ...

Now, in a recent Science Immunology study, Marichal and his colleagues confirmed that these unusual cells that emerged following an IAV infection are macrophages, and that they facilitate the repair ...

Consistent with lung surfactant build up in the children’s lungs and the ... where proper CCL-2 binding to CCR2 is essential for monocyte migration into the alveoli, where they ultimately mature into ...

giving it a larger surface area to volume ratio than larger structures number - there are around 700 million alveoli – ie 350 million per lung The total surface area of the alveoli is around 70 ...

Objective: Recently, natural exogenous surfactant replacement has been used in experimental models and clinical trials for the treatment of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease.

The cells in the body need oxygen to release energy from food efficiently by carrying out aerobic respiration. A waste product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide. The layer of moisture in ...
