Pulmonary reaction to long and short asbestos fibers is independent of fibroblast growth factor production by alveolar macrophages
This rat study asked whether alveolar macrophage secretions (scavenger cells in the lung's air spaces) explain why long, but not short, crocidolite fibers cause lung fibrosis. UICC crocidolite was separated into long fibers (mean 24.4 microns) and…
