Inhaled FPM pulling strings of collagen to disturb the immune defence against lung cancer cells

Caption

Inhaled fine particulate matter (shown here in red) pulls strings of collagen to disturb the immune defence in mice with lung cancer cells. This activity delays the movement of cytotoxic T-cells (purple) as they migrate towards the cancer cells (green) to destroy them.
