Open Box Science Immunology Shaping Macrophages: Microplastics and Developmental Origin 🔹Ana Codo @anaccodo.sky.social @WCM_IMP @wcm-imp.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social 📅 Thrusday, April 30 ⏰ 2 pm ET 💻 us02web.zoom.us/j/82008313506

I'm thrilled to share that the first paper from my PhD is out today in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! Here, we investigated how phagocytes, such as macrophages, handle microplastics (MPs) during their normal functions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Polystyrene microplastic-induced pathophysiology is driven by disruption of efferocytosis

Microplastics (MPs), microparticles from plastic degradation, pose a substantial threat to human health. Macrophages, the body’s immune sentinels, are…
