Consistent with lung surfactant build up in the children’s lungs and the monocyte migration impairment, the researchers found a decreased number of alveolar macrophages in their patients’ ...

In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating ...
