Description
Wenxia Bu and colleagues present a two thousand twenty-four review of how polystyrene nanoplastics harm cells. Tiny plastic particles from pollution collect in living tissue. Their small size lets them enter cells and disturb basic machinery.
The review gathers evidence on oxidative stress, power plant damage, and DNA injury. Inflammation and faulty self-cleaning also appear. Several distinct death programs can be triggered, from quiet cell suicide to fiery inflammatory death. Particle size, surface treatment, other pollutants, and protein coatings all change the harm. The authors urge more mechanism research and stronger rules.
