Multi‐omics reveals a novel Cxcr4+ subpopulation of alveolar macrophages and therapeutic effect of AMD3100 in mice with advanced silicosis

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The progression of silicosis‐associated fibrosis relies on a positive feedback loop mediated by crosstalk between Cxcr4+ macrophages and Cxcl12+ fibroblasts and the therapeutic potential of targeting the Cxcl12/Cxcr4 axis with AMD3100 as a novel strategy for treating silicosis.

MRI for Lung Cancer Management: Any Closer to Clinical Application?

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1546-1561, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Management of lung cancer (LC) encompasses screening, diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy planning and guidance, therapy monitoring and surveillance. Across these domains, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a range of morphological and functional imaging capabilities—including diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)

Intersoftware variability in SPECT quality control: A technical note on analytical discrepancies and compliance decisions

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Background Quality control (QC) is essential for ensuring the diagnostic reliability of Single‐Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) systems. However, the reliance on third‐party software for analyzing QC metrics introduces a potential source of variability that is not yet standardized.

Silicosis, Sarcoidosis, and Silicosarcoidosis Are Overlapping Diagnoses and Difficult to Differentiate

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 313-322, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluated 12 workers with documented exposure to respirable crystalline silica who were referred to a tertiary care center due to clinical suspicion of silicosis, sarcoidosis, or silicosarcoidosis. Although silica exposure is a well‐established risk factor for silicosis and has been associated with autoimmune diseases, mycobacterial ...
