Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold great promise to create new and better products, but their
adverse health effect is a major concern. Human exposure to CNTs is primarily through …

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a serious chronic lung disease with unknown pathogenesis.
Researches have confirmed that oxidative stress which is regulated by NADPH oxidase‐4 …

Abstract P120-catenin (P120) was known to function in adhesion between cells and signal
transduction in many types of cells. In this study, we investigated the expression and role of …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease that is associated with
aberrant activation of TGF-β, myofibroblast differentiation, and abnormal extracellular matrix …

Mammalian neuraminidases (NEUs), also known as sialidases, are enzymes that cleave off
the terminal neuraminic, or sialic, acid resides from the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids …

Aim To investigate the potential therapeutic efficacy of iguratimod (IGU) on bleomycin (BLM)‐
induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Methods A total of 75 C57BL/6 mice were randomly and …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and progressive fibrotic lung disorder with
unknown etiology and a high mortality rate. Tanshinone ⅡA (Tan ⅡA) is a lipophilic …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive disease with high mortality
and unclear etiology. Previous evidence supports that the origin of this disease is associated …

TGF-β is considered a master switch in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis. The primary
mediators of this activity are the SMAD proteins, particularly SMAD3. In the current study, we …

Background Lymphocyte infiltration is a common feature of radiation-induced pneumonitis
and fibrosis, but their contribution to the pathogenic processes is still unclear. Here, we …
