Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are everywhere, but what happens when they get inside us? Our latest study reveals how chronic plastic exposure affects macrophages and metabolism in a size-dependent manner. 🧵👇 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

Size-dependent plastic exposure disrupts macrophage function and tissue-specific metabolism
Plastic pollution is an emerging yet understudied environmental risk to the immune system. Once ingested, nano- and microplastic particles (MNPs) can translocate from the gut to internal organs, with ...
