Chronic Exposure to Nanoplastics Alters Stem Cell Type-Specific Mechanisms, Promoting Cancer Development

2026-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Increasing levels of nanoplastics (NPLs) in the environment raise concerns about their effects on human health. We investigated the impact of the most prevalent NPLs, namely polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS), on stem cells (SCs), which persist for decades, support tissue function, and are often implicated in cancer development. Long-term exposure to both NPLs similarly affected mammary SC featu...
