Molecular mechanisms of surfactant delivery to the air/liquid interface in the lung, which is
crucial to lower the surface tension, have been studied for more than two decades. Lung …

In multicellular organisms, development is based in part on the integration of communication
systems. Two neuroendocrine axes, the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid and the …

Avian egg coloration is shaped by natural selection, but its genetic basis remains unclear.
Here, we used genome‐wide association analysis and identity by descent to finely map …

Post-embryonic acute developmental processes mainly allow the transition from one life
stage in a specific ecological niche to the next life stage in a different ecological niche …

Surfactant lipids and proteins form a surface active film at the air‐liquid interface of internal
gas exchange organs, including swim bladders and lungs. The system is uniquely …

Pulmonary surfactant fulfils diverse functions at the lung air–liquid interface of all air-
breathing vertebrates. Neurohormonal regulation of surfactant synthesis and secretion is …

Describing the diversity and features of various vertebrate groups, ranging from the oldest
living fishes to the relatively more recent evolution of mammals, this book covers anatomical …

Physiology integrates biology with the environment through cell–cell interactions at multiple
levels. The evolution of the respiratory system has been “deconvoluted”(Torday and Rehan …

Pulmonary surfactant is comprised of lipids and proteins. Environmental variables—
temperature, pressure and hypoxia—represent powerful evolutionary selection pressures …

Çocukluk çağının en sık görülen hastalıkları solunum yolu hastalıklarıdır. Solumun yolu
hastalıklarını, pediyatristler; enfeksiyonlar, hışıltılı bebek ve alerjik hastalıklar olarak …
