Long noncoding RNA s (lnc RNA s) are RNA s longer than 200 nt in length that are
characterized by low levels of sequence conservation and expression; lnc RNA s modulate …

Unintended cardiac fibroblast proliferation in many pathophysiological heart conditions,
known as cardiac fibrosis, results in pooling of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the …

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a lethal fibrotic lung disease. The role of lncRNAs in multiple
diseases has been confirmed, but the role and mechanism of lncRNA zinc finger antisense 1 …

Fibrosis is universally observed in multiple aging-related diseases and progressions and is
characterized by excess accumulation of the extracellular matrix. Fibrosis occurs in various …

Inflammation is a multifactorial process and various biological mechanisms and pathways
participate in its development. The presence of inflammation is involved in pathogenesis of …

The pulmonary fibrosis could be caused by long-term inhalation of carbon black (CB)
particles. Studies on the mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis induced by CB are required to …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) creates a multifaceted system for the interaction of diverse
structural proteins, matricellular molecules, proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and various …

Silicosis is a kind of chronic, progressive and incurable lung fibrotic diseases with largely
unknown and complex pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms. Mounting evidence …

Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown to be potential therapeutic, diagnostic and
prognostic targets in disease therapy. These endogenous non-coding RNAs contribute to …

Pulmonary fibrosis is the most common form of interstitial lung disease. The transforming
growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway is extensively involved in the development of …
