Short- and long-term pathologic responses to quartz are induced by nearly free silanols formed during crystal fracturing

Abstract Background Inhalation of respirable crystalline silica particles, including quartz, is associated with an increased risk of developing pathologies, including persistent lung inflammation, fibrosis, cancer, and systemic autoimmunity. We demonstrated that the nearly free silanols (NFS) genera...
