Ultrafine amorphous silica induces chronic lung epithelial cell stress and pro-fibrotic reprogramming in a particle size‑ and exposure duration‑dependent manner

2026-07-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Occupational exposure to respirable silica is recognised in industries such as stonemasonry, tunnelling, and mining, with emerging applications in drug delivery systems, cosmetics, and food additives. In the context of rising global silicosis cases, amorphous silica-containing materials are frequently marketed as “safer” alternatives to high crystalline silica engineered sto...
