Bloom et al. 22 compared beractant vs calfactant in the prophylactic treatment of RDS in infants <1250 g. They showed no difference between these two surfactants in mortality or BPD. However, ...

An engineer in California has an invention that she hopes will someday help people with damaged lungs breathe easier. Stanford University's Annelise Barron has developed a synthetic version of ...

With several surfactants to choose from, the biopharma industry is still working to identify the most effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to the surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100). The EU ...

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper and ...

During titrations, it is crucial to select the right titrant. If the solubility of the formed compounds is lower (their oleophilic properties is greater), the potential jump of the titration curve is ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers discuss the role of a surfactant-mediated inflammatory response employed by human lungs against the severe acute respiratory ...

New research into graphene flakes has discovered that the material can act as a surfactant, for the first time demonstrating how it can be a versatile 2D stabilizer ideal for many industrial ...

Cocamidopropyl betaine, or CAPB for short, is an ingredient in many personal care products, including some brands of shampoo, body wash, and soap. Manufacturers also use it to formulate household ...
