Effects of Chrysotile Exposure in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells: Insights into the Pathogenic Mechanisms of Asbestos-Related Diseases
…glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and Akt were performed to confirm their involvement in asbestos-induced EMT. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blotting, and gelatin zymography were performed to detect mRNA…

Potential toxicity of nonregulated asbestiform minerals: balangeroite from the western Alps. Part 3: Depletion of antioxidant defenses
…crocidolite incubation. This effect was not related to any increased content of oxidized glutathione, or to any enhanced efflux of glutathione, suggesting that balangeroite fibers, like crocidolite, might favor the reaction of GSH with other molecules.

Asbestos-like pathogenicity of long carbon nanotubes alleviated by chemical functionalization
This was a short-term experiment in mice testing whether chemically modifying long multi-walled carbon nanotubes changes the asbestos-like reactions they cause. The authors took long, unmodified nanotubes previously used by another research group…
