The molecular era of surfactant biology.

Neonatology - 1 Jan 2014

Whitsett Jeffrey A

Abstract excerpt

Advances in the physiology, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology of the pulmonary surfactant system transformed the clinical care and outcome of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The molecular era of surfactant biology provided genetic insights into the pathogenesis of pulmonary disorders, previously termed 'idiopathic', that affect newborn infants, children and adults. Knowledge related to...
