DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2019.103466

Abstract: Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid-protein complex which coats lung alveoli. It displays the essential function of reducing surface tension at the air-liquid interface, avoiding alveolar collapse during expiration. The optimized biophysical properties of surfactant rely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-76332-7

Abstract: Pulmonary surfactant forms a sub-micrometer thick fluid layer that covers the surface of alveolar lumen and inhaled nanoparticles therefore come in to contact with surfactant prior to any interaction with epithelial cells. We investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-019-0662-5

Abstract: An exacerbated amount of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can cause dysfunction of systems during inflammation. However, host proteins and factors that suppress NET formation (NETosis) are not clearly identified. Here we show that an innate… read more here.
