The present research aimed to investigate peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a minimally invasive surrogate approach to study silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed to crystal
A large number of systemically administered drugs have the potential to cause drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD). We aim to characterize a model of DIILD in the rat and develop imaging bio
A short-term 5 day mainstream cigarette smoke exposure study was conducted in Fischer 344 rats to identify changes in lung proteins. Groups of 10 male and female rats at 5 weeks of age were assigned t
Around 80% of patients who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection experience persistent lung dysfunction. The molecular factors that mediate pulmonary seq
