Pulmonary surfactant is a critical component of lung function in healthy individuals. It
functions in part by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, thereby allowing for breathing …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease characterised by an inexorable
decline in lung function. The development of IPF involves multiple positive feedback loops; …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of patient mortality in intensive
care units (ICUs) worldwide. Considering that no causative treatment but only symptomatic …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid reduction in kidney function caused by
