Particles induce apical plasma membrane enlargement in epithelial lung cell line depending on particle surface area dose
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Airborne particles entering the respiratory tract may interact with the apical plasma membrane (APM) of epithelial cells and enter them. Differences in the entering mechanisms of fine (between 0.1 μm and 2.5 μm) and ultrafine ( ≤ 0.1...
