The critical size for strong interaction of hydrophobic particles with phospholipid bilayers has been predicted to be 10 nm. Because of the wide spreading of nonpolar nanoparticles (NPs) in the environment, we aimed to reveal the ability of living organisms to entrap NPs via formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Upon interaction with various cell types and tissues, 10- to 40-nm-sized NPs induce fast (<20 min) damage of plasma membranes and instability of the lysosomal compartment, ...[more]
