Fiber localization and its relationship to lung reaction in rats after chronic inhalation of chrysotile asbestos
…with histologic changes indicating marked epithelial injury. Increased amounts of fibers are also localized in the lung interstitium with continued exposure to asbestos and are associated with a progressive interstitial fibrotic reaction. Following cessation of exposure…

Progressive lung cell reactions and extracellular matrix production after a brief exposure to asbestos
…this would be the most likely site of a significant cellular or fibrotic reaction. The characteristics and progression of tissue reactions occurring at first alveolar duct bifurcations after a single brief asbestos exposure was defined using…

Chrysotile asbestos stimulates platelet-derived growth factor-AA production by rat lung fibroblasts in vitro: evidence for an autocrine loop
…However, message amplification using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction allowed detection of the B-chain message. A significant dose-dependent mitogenic effect of asbestos was found by using both a cell proliferation assay and nuclear…

Interactions of chrysotile asbestos with erythrocyte membranes
…cells and bind to cell membranes which may become wrapped around the fibers. This reaction is prevented by pretreatment of the cells with neuraminidase. The distribution of lectins which bind to membrane glycoproteins is altered by…
