CC-chemokine ligand 18, CXC motif chemokine 13 and osteopontin as biomarkers of silicosis and asbestosis: a prospective observational study

open access: yesScientific Reports
Background 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,

A mammalian Wnt5a-Ror2-Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary

Targeting fused in sarcoma (FUS): a novel antisense strategy for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a highly conserved RNA-binding protein with essential roles in RNA processing and genomic stability. While extensively studied in the context of neurodegeneration, its involvement in fibrotic diseases, particularly idiopathic ...

Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.
