Potential consequences of screening of occupational silica dust exposed workers for early detection of silicosis/silico-tuberculosis using a novel biomarker, club cell protein-16, with possible intervention by repurposing metformin

Potential consequences of screening of occupational silica dust exposed workers for early detection of silicosis/silico-tuberculosis using a novel biomarker, club cell protein-16, with possible intervention by repurposing metformin

Earlier, a study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research – National Institute of Occupational Health (ICMR-NIOH), India, evidenced that CC16 may be used as a proxy marker and screening tool for early detection and progression of silica-induced lung damage. Once CC16 indicates early silic...
