Pediatric Research - Pulmonary Surfactant Protein A, B, and C mRNA and Protein Expression in the Nitrofen-Induced Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Rat Model Skip to main content Thank you for ...

Pulmonary surfactants consist of phospholipids and the hydrophobic proteins surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C. These surfactants keep the alveoli in the lung open to the atmosphere.

Surfactant protein B is important for the formation of the active surfactant surface film (Schürch et al, 1998) and is essential for normal lung function (Robertson et al, 1991).

Preliminary studies have identified pro–surfactant protein B (pro-SFTPB) to be a promising blood biomarker for non–small-cell lung cancer. We conducted a study to determine the independent predictive ...

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein complex that consists of a variety of lipids -- primarily phospholipids -- and several proteins. The function of surfactant is to prevent lung collapse ...

Inherited SP-B deficiency is an ultra-rare monogenic cause of fatal respiratory distress syndrome in newborn infants with few, if any, options for long-term survivalHighly encouraging preclinical ...

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disorder that causes the air sacs in your lungs to become clogged with a natural substance called surfactant.. Causes of Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis ...

The link between respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and surfactant deficiency, especially in preterm infants, has been known since the late 1950s.
