and lead to tissue damage or fibrosis, such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) …

It is well known that various cytokines and growth factors secreted from macrophages/
monocytes play the key role in the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis. These can act as …

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) is an occupational pulmonary disease that occurs by
chronic inhalation of coal dust. CWP is divided into two stages depending on the extent of …

The alveolar macrophage plays a number of important roles in the pathogenesis of silicosis
and coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). These roles include phagocytosis of dust …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether systemic tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-
α), soluble TNF-α receptors (p55, p75), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and soluble IL-6 receptor could …

It has been shown that coal dust exposure stimulates inflammatory response leading to
increased release of cytokines from monocytes such as TNF-alpha and IL1. These released …
