Condensed tannins are ubiquitously expressed in woody plants. Because they are found in the leaves and stems of these plants, they can account for a significant porportion of the water-soluble components of the dust generated during the processing of such plants. The ability of the condensed tannins to alter functional or structural properties of a number of cell types, including platelets [

Silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis is thought to involve fibroblast stimulation by a product of alveolar macrophages (AM) but various cell culture systems have given conflicting results. Macrophage-fibroblast interactions are now studied using an homologous system in which supernatants of rat AM afte
