«Liquid instillation has been used for providing
lung surfactant to the entire lungs in premature infants that can not produce enough surfactant to breathe normally,» Kim observes.
Although at this time,
lung surfactants, which aid in lung expansion after the birth of the baby, is already present, the lungs are still very immature to function properly like sending out oxygen to the bloodstream during inhalation and releasing carbon dioxide during exhalation.

surfactant proteins called SP - A and SP - B reacted with proteins taken from the fish, implying that both use the same «anti-glue» to keep their
lungs open.
Type I cells form the gas diffusing barrier and type II produce a mixture of lipids and proteins that work as a
surfactant, regulating surface tension in the
lungs.
When babies are born weeks or months before their due date, their

Surfactants, or lipids produced inside the
lung tissue, allow airways to inflate and deflate with ease.
Lungs typically contain a compound called
surfactant, or pulmonary
surfactant, that helps with breathing.
Takayama's team was able to confirm that the sounds were associated with injury to the cells — suggesting that the model was accurately approximating what happens in a diseased
