Multi-omics reveals a novel Cxcr4<sup>+</sup> subpopulation of alveolar macrophages and therapeutic effect of AMD3100 in mice with advanced silicosis. [PDF]
Clin Transl MedThe 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.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Silicosis, Sarcoidosis, and Silicosarcoidosis Are Overlapping Diagnoses and Difficult to Differentiate. [PDF]
Am J Ind MedABSTRACT 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 ...

Social determinants of an occupational lung disease: Workers’ narratives on silicosis
SSM: Qualitative Research in Health, 2023 Silicosis is a preventable occupational lung disease caused by inhaled silica dust. Solutions to prevent silicosis ranging from engineering controls to respirator use have been validated for nearly a century, but many workers are still at-risk of this ...

Asbestosis and silicosis [PDF]
The Lancet, 1997 Interstitial fibrosis resulting from workplace exposure to asbestos and crystalline silica persists throughout the world despite knowledge of the causes and effective means for prevention. Asbestosis and silicosis occurrence is predictable among people overexposed to dusts in various industries and occupations such as mining, construction ...

The regulatory effect of pulmonary lymphatic drainage on silicosis fibrosis
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Silicosis is a fibrotic disease caused by long-term inhalation of SiO2 particles that currently has no effective treatment. Earlier studies have suggested that pulmonary lymphatic vessels play a key role in the transport of silica but have not address ...
