  • Divalent metal transporter-1 decreases metal-related injury in the lung. 
  • Genomic analysis of human lung fibroblasts exposed to vanadium pentoxide to identify candidate genes for occupational bronchitis. 
  • Susceptibility of cyclooxygenase-2-deficient mice to pulmonary fibrogenesis. 
  • Vanadium-induced HB-EGF expression in human lung fibroblasts is oxidant dependent and requires MAP kinases.
