Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of lipids and proteins assembled and secreted by the
alveolar epithelium into the thin layer of fluid coating the respiratory surface of lungs. There …

This review summarizes neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome in light of meconium-
induced inflammation and inflammatory surfactant inactivation, related to both endogenous …

Simple Summary Meconium aspiration syndrome is a pathology that causes hypoxia,
acidosis, and neonatal mortality. The mechanisms behind this rely on physiopathology and …

Biophysical studies of pulmonary surfactant, PS, provide the possibility to assess the roles of

Although the presence of live microbes in utero remains under debate, newborn
gastrointestinal bacteria are undoubtedly important to infant health. Measuring bacteria in …

Lung surfactant is crucial for optimal pulmonary function throughout life. An absence or
