- 08:02Results: Investigating the Development of Silicosis in Mice After Repeated CSD Inhalation
- 09:41Conclusion
This protocol describes a method for establishing a mouse model of silicosis through repeated exposure to silica suspensions via a nasal drip. This model can efficiently, conveniently, and flexibly mimic the pathological process of human silicosis with high repeatability and economy.
