Live-cell imaging of macrophage phagocytosis of asbestos fibers under fluorescence microscopy
Abstract Background Frustrated phagocytosis occurs when an asbestos fiber > 10 μm in length is engulfed imperfectly by a macrophage, and it is believed to be associated with chromosomal instability. Few studies have focused on dynamic cellular imaging to assess the toxicity of hazardous inorganic...
