Biochemical effects of asbestiform minerals on lung fibroblast cultures

Biochemical effects of asbestiform minerals on lung fibroblast cultures

P M Hext et al. Br J Exp Pathol. 1976 Jun.

Abstract

The ability of different types of asbestiform minerals to enhance or suppress the levels of fibrous collagen in cultures of lung fibroblasts was tested. All commercially important asbestos dusts produced both effects, a lower dose favouring a fibrogenic response whereas a higher dose favoured an opposite effect.
