Fibrosis, characterized by the accumulation of collagen, is a late result of thoracic irradiation.
The purpose of this study was to determine if extracellular matrix protein and transforming …

Ionizing radiation leads to a progressive injury in which a monocyte/macrophage-rich
pneumonitis is followed by a chronic progressive fibrosis. In the present study, the role of …

Lung exposure to radiation induces an injury response that includes the release of cytokines
and chemotactic mediators; these signals recruit immune cells to execute inflammatory and …

Patients receiving thoracic radiation often develop pulmonary injury and fibrosis. Currently,
there are no effective measures to prevent or treat these conditions. We tested whether …

Pulmonary fibrosis is caused by various known and unknown aetiologies, but the key
pathogenic mechanisms are still ill-defined. Chemokines are a large family of chemotactic …

Exposure of the lung to radiation produces injury and inflammatory responses that result in
microenvironmental alterations, which can promote the development of pneumonitis and/or …

Background Recent research has supported that a variety of cytokines play important roles
during radiation-induced lung toxicity. The present study is designed to investigate the …
