Genetic differences in surfactant proteins influence retinopathy of prematurity risk
A new study from the University of Oklahoma suggests that small genetic differences in two proteins – previously known for their role in premature infants' lungs – may also influence how their eyes ...
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 ...
A pre-term baby is delicate. One of the reasons why is because they are prone to respiratory distress syndrome, a breathing disorder. The condition is more common in such infants because their lungs ...

Study has identified genetic variants in lung-related proteins may affect eye development in preterm infants, altering risk of retinopathy of prematurity.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes seasonal epidemics of bronchiolitis among susceptible infants. Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a lung C-type lectin involved in innate host defense, opsonizes RSV ...
