Summary

Researchers investigated how nanoplastics are internalized by human liver cancer cells (HuH-7) and assessed the cellular damage that follows, characterizing the dynamics of particle uptake and the resulting cytotoxic effects relevant to hepatic health.

Body Systems

The increasing prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) in the environment necessitates a detailed examination of their potential health impacts and the factors influencing these responses.
