Polystyrene nanoplastics impair mitochondrial function, quality control, and ER–mitochondria crosstalk in HeLa cells
Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) represent persistent environmental contaminants derived from the degradation of plastic debris and are increasingly detected in biological systems, raising concerns regarding their potential effects on human health. Emerging evidence suggests that, following cellular internalizat...
