Silicosis, a form of lung fibrosis (LF), remains a major global health concern because there are few effective ways to diagnose or treat it. Due to their potential function as diagnostic markers and modulators of cancer, exosomal miRNAs are notably featured in more recent advancements. Such exosomal miRNAs offer an invasive approach to diagnosing an illness’s early and accurate nature as they are more stable and measurable in...

Caspase-independent cell death (CICD) has recently become a very important mechanism in lung cancer, in particular, to overcome a critical failure in apoptotic cell death that is common to disease progression and treatment failures. The pathways involved in CICD span from necroptosis, ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and autophagy-mediated cell death. Its potential therapeutic applications have been recently highlighted...
