'Trojan-Horse' stress-granule formation mediated by manganese oxide nanoparticles.

Exposure to nanomaterials is considered as one of the risk factors for neurodegenerative pathology. inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) absorb intrinsically disordered proteins, many of which are the constituents of stress-granules (SGs). SGs normally form in response to cellular stress and, here, we addressed whether selected inorganic NPs could trigger SGs formation in cells.
