Polystyrene Nanoplastics Increase Macrophage Bactericidal Activity Through a Mechanism Involving Reactive Oxygen Species and Itaconate

2025-09-10

Abstract excerpt

Nanoplastics are persistent environmental pollutants with potential risks to human health. Due to their small size nanoplastics are internalized by macrophages, potentially altering their function. In this study, we investigated the intracellular localization of polystyrene nanoplastics inside macrophages using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. We observed their presence predominantly in endosomes, lysosomes...
