A potassium ionophore (valinomycin) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation by its effects on the cell membrane
Summary
This paper addresses micro- and nanoplastic contamination, with nanoplastics considered more hazardous because they can enter cells and cross biological barriers that stop larger particles. The authors note that analytical limitations make it difficult to fully characterize the risks of nanoplastic exposure.
Micro-nano plastics originating from the prevalent usage of plastics have raised increasingly alarming concerns worldwide. However, there remains a fundamental knowledge gap in nanoplastics because of the lack of effective analytical ...Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (<1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In particular, nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic since their ...
