Top-down generated microplastics differentially induce neutrophil cell death associated with phagocytosis
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are able to cross the epithelial barriers, enter the circulation and encounter immune cells. Unlike bacteria or viruses, MNPs cannot be degraded by immune cells and may therefore pose a potential risk to human health. Neutrophils are the most predominant circulatory immune cells and the f...
