Polyethylene microplastics impede the innate immune response by disrupting the extracellular matrix and signaling transduction
Summary: Microplastics (MPs) can accumulate in animal organs. Numerous studies have linked MPs with immune system. However, the impact of MPs on immune response remains unclear. This study examined the innate immune response of mice exposed to 5 μm MPs. In the lipopolysaccharide challenge, mice trea...
