Microplastic exposure induces epithelial barrier alterations and increases collagen deposition in a 3D human endometrial model in vitro
1 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the human endometrium in vitro. METHODS: A predictive 3D endometrial in vitro model was generated using highly porous scaffolds where human endometrial stromal (hESC) and epithelial (hEEC) cells were co-cultured for 35 days. The newly generated endometrial barrier was then exposed to different MP concentrations (from 0.25 to 50 mg/ml) for 24 h and 48...
