Abstract

Two commercial exogenous pulmonary surfactants, Curosurf and Survanta, are investigated. Their thermotropic behavior and associated structural changes for the samples in bulk are characterized and described. For Survanta, the obtained results of differential scanning calorimetry showed a thermogram with three peaks on heating and only a single peak on cooling. Curosurf on the other hand, presents calorimetric thermograms with only one peak in both the heating and cooling scans. This distinct thermotropic behavior between the two pulmonary surfactants, a consequence of their particular compositions, is associated with structural changes that were evaluated by simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments with in situ temperature variation. Interestingly, for temperatures below ∼35 °C for Curosurf and ∼53 °C for Survanta, the scattering data indicated the coexistence of two lamellar phases with different carbon chain organizations. For temperatures above these limits, the coexistence of phases disappears, giving rise to a fluid phase in both pulmonary surfactants, with multilamelar vesicles for Curosurf and unilamellar vesicles for Survanta. This process is quasi-reversible under cooling, and advanced data analy...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
