Surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) are lung collectins composed of two regions,
a globular head domain that binds PAMPs and a collagenous tail domain that initiates …

Removal of cells dying by apoptosis is essential to normal development, maintenance of

The goal of this study was to determine the changes that occur in surfactant-associated proteins
in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) and serum of patients at risk for ARDS and during …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a high mortality rate, and current therapies are only
marginally effective. A serum biomarker that predicts clinical outcome would be useful to …
