Summary
Researchers found that increased germline methyltransferases responsible for histone H3K9 methylation are associated with transgenerational nanoplastic toxicity in the nematode C. elegans, suggesting epigenetic mechanisms underlie cross-generational plastic harm.
Models
Our data demonstrated the association of the increase in germline methyltransferases required for methylation of H3K9 with transgenerational nanoplastic toxicity in nematodes.
