Even after a 6-month washout period, MNPs were still present in liver macrophages, although metabolism recovered. This raises concerns about cumulative effects over a lifetime.
Our study led by the fantastic #NikolaMakdissi and @mariafviola.bsky.social highlights the immune-metabolic risks of MNP exposure. Given that humans are exposed to plastics daily, understanding their long-term effects is crucial for public health.
