Silicosis is an incurable occupational disease, and its pathological feature is diffuse
pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the …

Silicosis is a kind of chronic, progressive and incurable lung fibrotic diseases with largely
unknown and complex pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms. Mounting evidence …

Silicosis is a serious occupational disease characterized by pulmonary chronic inflammation
and progressive fibrosis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of alveolar epithelial cells …

Silicosis is an incurable occupational disease associated with inflammation, fibroblast
proliferation and the accumulation of extracellular matrix in lung tissues. The dysregulation …

Lung epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in silicosis fibrosis.
The reverse process of EMT is mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), which is viewed as …

Occupational exposure to silica dust particles was the major cause of pulmonary fibrosis,
and many miRNAs have been demonstrated to regulate target mRNAs in silicosis. In the …

Silicosis is a very serious occupational disease and it features pathological manifestations of
inflammatory infiltration, excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and massive depositions of the …

Inhalation and deposition of crystalline silica particles in the lung can cause pulmonary
fibrosis, then leading to silicosis. Given the paucity of effective drugs for silicosis, new …

Silicosis is a kind of irreversible pulmonary fibrosis induced by the long-term inhalation of
silica particles. The therapeutic strategy based on the microRNAs might be an effective way …

Silicosis is a fatal pulmonary fibrotic disorder characterized by accumulation of fibroblasts
and myofibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. MiR-449a is a potential …
