Exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics induces abnormal activation of innate immunity via the cGAS-STING pathway

Exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics induces abnormal activation of innate immunity via the cGAS-STING pathway

Endogenous immune defenses provide an intrinsic barrier against external entity invasion. Microplastics in the environment, especially those at the nanoscale (nanoplastics or NPs), may pose latent health risks through direct exposure. While links between nanoplastics and inflammatory processes have...
