Lung epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in silicosis fibrosis. The reverse process of EMT is mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), which is viewed as an anti-EMT therapy and is a good target toward fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potent regulators of EMT...
