Abstract:In this work, we investigated weathered aged-PPMPs and naturally obtained polypropylene microplastics (NP-PPMPs) with raw 264.7 macrophages, which causes cytotoxicity and an imbalance in the intracellular system.
Microplastics pose a growing environmental threat with complex implications for human health. Despite the extensive research on the cytotoxicities of microplastics, gaps remain in understanding cellular responses to the interplay...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
