Identification method of asbestiform mineral particles and cleavage fragments in the lung: Regulated and unregulated amphiboles

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Asbestos fibers are well-established causes of lung and pleural diseases. However, the role of other non-asbestiform elongate mineral particles (EMPs) in these conditions remains unclear.

Mesothelin methylation, soluble mesothelin related protein levels and inflammation profiling in workers chronically exposed to naturally occurring asbestos fibers

Translational Oncology
Exposure to asbestiform fibers, including chrysotile and amphibole, is carcinogenic, causing malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) when inhaled. Some populations globally face Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) exposure, leading to MPM cases like in ...
