Particles induce apical plasma membrane enlargement in epithelial lung cell line depending on particle surface area dose

BACKGROUND: 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 μm) particles may be associated with different effects...
