Summary
This study identified that intestinal G-protein signaling pathways in the roundworm C. elegans play a key role in the organism's biological response to nanoplastics. The findings reveal specific molecular mechanisms through which nanoplastics can disrupt cellular signaling in a widely used laboratory animal model.
Models
Our results highlight the crucial role of intestinal Gα subunits and their downstream signaling pathways in response to nanoplastics.
