Macrophages phagocytose nonopsonized silica particles using a unique microtubule-dependent pathway

Silica inhalation leads to the development of the chronic lung disease silicosis. Macrophages are killed by uptake of nonopsonized silica particles, and this is believed to play a critical role in the etiology of silicosis. However, the mechanism of nonopsonized-particle uptake is not well understoo...
