Pulmonary surfactant proteins are specialised molecules that reduce surface tension in the alveoli and serve as pivotal mediators of lung host defence. Four principal proteins—SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and ...

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 ...

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

Computerised chest radiograph analysis revealed that the surfactant treatment led to better aeration in the right lung than in the left lung among infants born extremely preterm with respiratory ...

Researchers have discovered a novel approach for engrafting engineered cells into injured lung tissue. These findings may lead to new ways for treating lung diseases, such as emphysema, pulmonary ...

Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA) (the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, presented a poster at the ATS 2026 International Conference that is taking ...

Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA) (the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, today announced that the FDA has extended the review period for the ...

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 ...

Czech researchers have discovered that nanoplastics can weaken the lungs’ natural defence system, raising fresh concerns ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
