Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of phospholipids and proteins synthesized in alveolar type-II cells that is necessary for maintaining alveolar expansion at end-expiration. Phospholipids comprise ...
Surfactant replacement therapy for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants is a major breakthrough in neonatal medicine. Prophylactic or very early surfactant administration in very ...
Quantitative structure-activity analysis and molecular docking reveal competitive stabilization mechanism, enabling rational design of next-generation additives for sustainable sugar-platform ...
Researchers from the Tohoku Univerisity, Japan, and Christian Albrechts University Kiel, Germany, critically review the use of surfactant-coated nanoparticles in the fields of nanomedicine and food ...
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 ...
Preterm babies who need surfactant are given it using a minimally invasive technique if they do not need invasive ventilation. Surfactant can be given to preterm babies using a minimally invasive ...
In the next few weeks, a facial cleanser will hit the market based on a new surfactant: rhamnolipids. Booni Doon’s Calm Cleansing Capsules are one of the first consumer products in the US to feature ...
Sugar-based amphiphilic molecules, which contain a hydrophilic sugar headgroup and a hydrophobic segment such as an alkyl chain, can assemble in water depending on their concentration, forming ...
Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...
