Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), as its name suggests, is a disease marked by scarring — or fibrosis — of the lungs, leading to shortness of breath. PF is part of a larger group of more than 200 lung conditions collectively known as interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), many of which are known...

Occupational exposure to silica has been observed to cause pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer through complex mechanisms. Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures with repetitive (TTAGGG) sequences at the end of chromosomes, are a molecular “clock of life”, and alterations are associated with chronic...
