A small key unlocks a heavy door : the essential function of the small hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C to trigger adsorption of pulmonary surfactant lamellar bodies (2016)
Journal Article

The molecular basis involving adsorption of pulmonary surfactant at the respiratory air–liquid interface and the specific roles of the surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C in this process have not been completely resolved. The reasons might be found in...

The role of myosin 1c and myosin 1b in surfactant exocytosis (2016)
Journal Article
Kittelberger, N., Breunig, M., Martin, R., Knölker, H., & Miklavc, P. (2016). The role of myosin 1c and myosin 1b in surfactant exocytosis. Journal of Cell Science, 129(8), 1685-1696. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.181313

Actin and actin-associated proteins have a pivotal effect on regulated exocytosis in secretory cells and influence pre-fusion as well as post-fusion stages of exocytosis. Actin polymerization on secretory granules during the post-fusion phase (format... Read More about The role of myosin 1c and myosin 1b in surfactant exocytosis.
