Polystyrene nanoplastics induce oxidative stress in Aurelia coerulea polyps, microglia, and mice
While these models represent distinct organisms and biological contexts, all demonstrated consistent oxidative stress responses upon PS-NPs exposure. Although we do not claim direct equivalency across species, the converging evidence from marine, cellular, and mammalian systems highlights the widespread biological risks posed by nanoplastics. These findings provide a foundation for evaluating environmental and public health threats associated with PS-NPs.
