Inflammatory Effects of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Nasal Airway Epithelial Cells
PS MNPs cause inflammatory cytokine responses in nasal epithelial cells over even a short timeframe, in addition to ciliary blunting and transcriptional evidence of significant inflammation and stress response. This sinonasal model can help answer critical questions about the pathogenicity of plastic exposures.
