lncRNA Profiling of Exosomes and Its Communication Role in Regulating Silica-Stimulated Macrophage Apoptosis and Fibroblast Activation
Long-term silica particle exposure leads to interstitial pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, called silicosis. Silica-activated macrophages secrete a wide range of cytokines resulting in persistent inflammation. In addition, silica-stimulated activation of fibroblast is another checkpoint in the pr...
