Polystyrene microplastic uptake drives Inflammatory, Epitranscriptomic, and Metabolic Reprogramming in Human Aortic Endothelial cells

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

Microplastics (MPLs) are pervasive environmental pollutants increasingly linked to adverse human health outcomes, including atherosclerosis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), which line the inner surface of blood vessels, play a critical role in maintaining vascular homeostasis and in the development of atherosclerosis. This study demonstrates that...
