From scarring to healing: Emerging regenerative therapies for pulmonary fibrosis using MSCs and exosomes

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
MSCs exert anti‐inflammatory, anti‐fibrotic and regenerative effects in pulmonary fibrosis. MSC‐derived exosomes reproduce many therapeutic benefits of parental MSCs. Preconditioning and genetic modification improve MSC therapeutic performance. Current preclinical and clinical evidence supports the translational potential of MSC‐based therapies ...

Early Identification, Accurate Diagnosis, and Treatment of Silicosis

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2022
Silicosis is a global problem, and it has brought about great burdens to society and patients’ families. The etiology of silicosis is clear, preventable, and controllable, but the onset is hidden and the duration is long.

Silicosis in a housewife

Saudi Medical Journal, 2003
Silicosis is an occupational respiratory disease caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust. We report the case of silicosis in a 50-year-old woman that presented with pulmonary fibrosis and later developed pulmonary tuberculosis. Her condition is believed to be due to inhalation of dust produced by scrubbing a silica rich surface during ...

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Allicin Attenuates Silica‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis by Targeting the Serpinb2/NF‐κB Pathway

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Allicin ameliorates silica‐induced pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing ferroptosis via the Serpinb2/NF‐κB pathway, highlighting its therapeutic potential for silicosis. ABSTRACT Silica‐induced pulmonary fibrosis is a debilitating condition with limited therapeutic options.

Predictors of silicosis and variation in prevalence across mines among employed gold miners in South Africa

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background The stated intention to eliminate silicosis from the South African goldmining industry as well as current programmes to find and compensate ex-miners with silicosis require an understanding of variation in silicosis prevalence across the ...

Usual Interstitial Pneumonia in a Patient With Celiac Disease: Expanding the Spectrum of Pulmonary Manifestations

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This case highlights a rare association between usual interstitial pneumonia and celiac disease, broadening the recognized spectrum of pulmonary involvement beyond Lane–Hamilton syndrome. It emphasizes the importance of considering celiac disease in the evaluation of fibrosing interstitial lung disease, particularly when gastrointestinal symptoms are ...

AN UNUSUAL FORM OF SILICOSIS IN A STONE-CUTTER [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2007
Silicon dioxide or silica is the earth’s most abundant mineral. The primary pulmonary illness attributable to silica exposure is silicosis, which is observed in three forms: classic, accelerated and acute. A case of silicosis is presented in this article

RAB20 deficiency promotes the development of silicosis via NLRP3 inflammasome

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Silicosis is a worldwide serious occupational disease that is caused by inhalation of silica crystals. However, little is known about the pathogenesis mechanism of silicosis. We performed single-cell sequencing in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from
