Asbestos: Early Immune Responses
Ujjwal Adhikari, Kinta Serve, and Jean Pfau explain how asbestos exposure negatively affects the body’s immune response and repair mechanisms, particularly through macrophage dysfunction. They emphasize that gaining a better understanding of cellular responses to inhaled particles could help researchers discover new therapeutic strategies for addressing environmentally induced conditions.
