Nanoplastics affect the inflammatory cytokine release by primary human monocytes and dendritic cells
Environment International, 2022 So far, the human health impacts of nano- and microplastics are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated whether nanoplastics exposure induces inflammatory processes in primary human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
