Micro/nanoplastics induce thyroid follicular cell pyroptosis to trigger thyrotoxicity by activating NF-κB signaling
Collectively, these findings provide novel mechanistic insights into MNP-induced thyroid toxicity and highlight the critical role of follicular cell pyroptosis, contributing to our understanding of the adverse health consequences associated with environmental plastic pollution.
