abstract：PURPOSE:Restoring the barrier integrity of the alveolar epithelium after injury is pivotal. In the current study, we evaluated the effects of surfactant, surfactant protein A (SP-A), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and analogues of SP-A on alveolar epithelial repair. Additionally, we assessed the influence of mic...
