Microplastics predominantly accumulate in CD11b− macrophages of the liver and spleen without overt neutrophil activation

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
To estimate the health effects of internal microplastics exposure, it is crucial to understand their dynamics and the effects on immune cells. To confirm that microplastics are transported from the intestinal lumen to the bloodstream, we fed mice 1 µm ...
