Zeolites ameliorate asbestos toxicity in a transgenic model of malignant mesothelioma

Abstract Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an almost invariably fatal cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The toxicity of asbestos fibers is related to their physicochemical properties and the generation of free radicals. We set up a pilot study to investigate the potential of the zeolite clinoptilolit...
