Epidemiology of asbestosis in the Netherlands: a 10-year cohort analysis [PDF]
ERJ Open ResearchBackground Asbestosis is a progressive interstitial lung disease caused by inhalation of asbestos fibres. Although asbestos use was banned in the Netherlands in 1993, new cases continue to be diagnosed.

CC-chemokine ligand 18, CXC motif chemokine 13 and osteopontin as biomarkers of silicosis and asbestosis: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBackground Silicosis and asbestosis, distinct forms of pneumoconiosis, manifest progressive interstitial fibrosis due to exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing silicosis and asbestosis,

Distinct comorbidity profiles and outcomes in asbestosis versus idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a 6-year prospective cohort study [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground Asbestosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) share overlapping clinical and pathological features; however, differences in comorbidities and prognostic patterns between the two diseases remain poorly defined.

The PERK/ATF4 pathway is required for metabolic reprogramming and progressive lung fibrosis [PDF]
JCI InsightAsbestosis is a prototypical type of fibrosis that is progressive and does not resolve. ER stress is increased in multiple cell types that contribute to fibrosis; however, the mechanism(s) by which ER stress in lung macrophages contributes to fibrosis is
