The constant stream of newly published asbestos studies makes it difficult for some legal teams to keep abreast of the developing science, which is critical to help protect you and your client from being caught off-guard (during cross-examination, or you may even miss a chance to discredit your opposition).
The science related to asbestos health effects is emerging at break-neck speed.
The constant stream of newly published asbestos studies makes it difficult for some legal teams to keep abreast of the developing science, which is critical to help protect you and your client from being caught off-guard (during cross-examination, or you may even miss a chance to discredit your opposition).
Scientists continue to push the boundaries when it comes to asbestos-related studies. For instance, we’ve noticed that biomarkers (e.g. miRNAs, proteins, and exhaled breath) are showing great promise as diagnostic and prognostic aids for mesothelioma, as well as to help measure asbestos exposures. Undoubtedly, as the biomarker science matures, other uses for these biomarkers will certainly emerge.
In addition to asbestos biomarker science, there is a constant stream of more traditional science being published, including case reports, epidemiological studies, mechanistic studies, and population genetic studies. And this is in addition to grants, clinical trials, blogs, and popular news.
Here is just a small sample of studies to give you a flavor of the types of asbestos-related studies that were published in the past few weeks to months (click the links to go the Pubmed abstract):
Diagnostic Tools
Biomarker Studies
Epidemiological Studies
Mechanistic Studies
Population Genetics
At ISS, we have scientists that have mastered monitoring the asbestos literature, and we’ve designed a tool to help us do it even better. We call it DataTrove. Give it a try by signing up for your free 1-month trial, and you’ll get a summary of the latest asbestos science in your inbox once per week.

Plaintiff experts having been asserting for decades that all mesotheliomas must be linked to some asbestos exposure. Indeed, this has led to the erroneous (but widespread) view that mesothelioma is a signature disease, only caused by asbestos exposure. Read more
