Increased monocyte actin polymerization in rat blood after intratracheal instillation of air pollution particles.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Red blood cell (RBC) deformability may increase, or decrease, following application of shear stress ("shear conditioning"), depending upon the specific magnitude and duration of exposure. However, the time course of altered RBC deformability following shear remains unresolved. OBJECTIVE:We utilised shear co...
