GSF National Research Center for Environment and Health, Clinical Research Group Inflammatory Lung Diseases and Institute for Inhalation Biology, Gauting, Germany.
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 diseases on cytoskeleton dependent functions was studied.
