Microplastics and nanoplastics in inflammatory bowel disease: Mechanistic plausibility, human evidence and future research priorities
Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are increasingly recognized as ubiquitous environmental contaminants with unavoidable human exposure through ingestion and inhalation. The gastrointestinal tract is an important interface between MNPs and the intestinal microbiota, epithelium and immune system. Interest in the effe...
