    Alveoli are tiny bubble-like air sacs located at the end of the bronchi


    The alveoli are covered by a thin liquid membrane called a surfactant, which is mainly composed of lipids


    Surfactant lipids are constantly produced and cleared


    "We can observe this phenomenon


    Macrophages lack the necessary cellular tools

    Disorders of gene regulation lead to defects


    "This regulatory gene is the transcription factor C/EBPb


    The significance of this new discovery is not limited to PAP disease


    "Maybe we can draw on alveolar macrophages in the lungs and translate our findings into other macrophages that help them digest lipids more efficiently

    C/EBPβ regulates lipid metabolism and Pparg isoform 2 expression in alveolar macrophages
