Cellular disturbance and thermal stress response in mussels exposed to synthetic and natural microfibers

Cellular disturbance and thermal stress response in mussels exposed to synthetic and natural microfibers

Textile microfibers (MFs) have natural (e.g. cotton, wool and silk) or synthetic origin (e.g. polyester and polyamide), and are increasingly documented in the marine environment. Knowledge on their biological effects in marine organisms is still limited, and virtually unexplored is their capability...
