Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary surfactant, which is composed of phospholipids and three lung-specific apoproteins, is synthesized and secreted by alveolar type II cells. Previous work from this laboratory (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1987; 931:143-156) has shown that cell-extracellular matrix interactions and cuboidal cel...
