This study shows that the Arp2/3 complex is essential for actin-dependent uptake of Aspergillus terreus conidia by alveolar epithelial cells, revealing a key role in early host-pathogen interactions.

This study investigates how lung boundary conditions affect the internalization of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia by alveolar cells using micropatterned substrates and fluorescent microscopy.
