Microenvironmental Alterations in Carbon Nanotube-Induced Lung Inflammation and Fibrosis

Microenvironmental Alterations in Carbon Nanotube-Induced Lung Inflammation and Fibrosis

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis have been intensively observed and characterized in numerous animal studies in the past decade. Remarkably, CNT-induced fibrotic lesions highly resemble some human fibrotic lung diseases, such as IPF and pneumoconiosis, regarding dise...
