A potent fluorescent probe for HOCl with dual NIR emissions: Achieving the early diagnosis of polystyrene microplastics-induced liver injury involved in ferroptosis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a fluorescent probe that can detect a specific type of harmful molecule (HOCl) produced when polystyrene microplastics damage liver tissue in mice. The study revealed that microplastics cause liver injury through a process called ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron and oxidative stress, providing new insight into exactly how microplastics harm the liver.
