Exposure of lung fibroblasts to PM2.5 and lead (Pb) induces fibrosis and apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells via a paracrine effect

Exposure of lung fibroblasts to PM2.5 and lead (Pb) induces fibrosis and apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells via a paracrine effect

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and heavy metals (HMs) in the air is closely associated with the incidence and exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis. Although the specific responses of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and lung fibroblasts to PM2.5 or HM exposure have been well defined, the...
