Scientists have clarified the physicochemical properties and functions of the different components of surfactant , and part of this successful research is derived from the characterization of genetic diseases affecting surfactant composition or function .
Knowledge from functional tests of surfactant action , its immunochemistry , kinetics and homeostasis are important also for improving therapy with animal - derived surfactant preparations and for the development of modified surfactants .
