Polystyrene microplastic uptake drives Inflammatory, Epitranscriptomic, and Metabolic Reprogramming in Human Aortic Endothelial cells

Ajmal Khan, Grant Koher, Tariq Khan…·Zhenquan Jia

This study shows that polystyrene microplastics induce inflammatory, epitranscriptomic, and metabolic changes in human aortic endothelial cells, potentially contributing to cardiovascular disease.
