Asbestos Fibers Enhance the TMEM16A Channel Activity in Xenopus Oocytes

Asbestos Fibers Enhance the TMEM16A Channel Activity in Xenopus Oocytes

Background: The interaction of asbestos fibers with target cell membranes is still poorly investigated. Here, we detected and characterized an enhancement of chloride conductance in <i>Xenopus</i> oocyte cell membranes induced by exposure to crocidolite (Croc) asbestos fibers. Methods: A...
