Summary

Researchers found that environmentally realistic 'true-to-life' nanoplastics acquire a distinct protein corona compared to synthetic polystyrene nanobeads, suggesting that laboratory studies using standard nanobeads may not accurately reflect how environmental nanoplastics interact with biological systems.
