Study discovers molecular properties of lung surfactants that could lead to better treatments for respiratory illnesses

by University of Minnesota Squares A-F show the evolution of the crystalline structures of lung surfactant monolayers as they “finger” or elongate with increasing pressure. By observing this evolution, scientists can better understand how lung surfactant spreads throughout the lungs and helps humans breathe easier.
