Microplastics Role in Cancer Cell Behavior

Back to Resource Library

This study investigates how microplastics behave once they enter the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in relation to cancer cells. It finds that microplastics can be taken up by cells, influencing how they move. Microplastics can also accumulate inside cells and be passed on during cell division. This suggests that they may have the potential to affect biological processes linked to disease development, highlighting an emerging area of concern in human health research.
