Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuate silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting apoptosis and pyroptosis but not autophagy in rats

This study aimed to investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on silica-induced lung fibrosis in a rat model. Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, silica group, and BMSC group (n = 10 rats per group). BMSCs were injected successive...
