Motion and twisting of magnetic particles ingested by alveolar macrophages in the human lung: effect of smoking and disease
BACKGROUND: Magnetic microparticles being ingested by alveolar macrophages can be used as a monitor for intracellular phagosome motions and cytoskeletal mechanical properties. These studies can be performed in the human lung after voluntary inhalation. The influence of cigarette smoking and lung dis...
