What did studies of nano-plastics find?
3Studies of nano-plastics measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are cell proliferation (1 study), autophagy (1) and cellular senescence (1).
Cell proliferation

Cell proliferation
downin human cells1
Nano-plastics inhibit cell proliferation in human cells (single dose and chronic long-term exposure of lethal and sub-lethal concentrations).
“Both single dose and chronic long-term exposure of lethal and sub-lethal concentrations of NPs resulted in oxidative stress-mediated down-regulation of cell growth and proliferation inhibition.”

Autophagy
upin human cells1
Nano-plastics induce autophagy in human cells (NPs internalized HaCaT cells incubated in a fresh, NPs-free medium).
“Autophagic structures and premature aging were also observed using an electron microscopy and a senescence marker, respectively”

Cellular senescence
upin human cells1
Nano-plastics induce cellular senescence in human cells (NPs internalized HaCaT cells incubated in a fresh, NPs-free medium).
“Autophagic structures and premature aging were also observed using an electron microscopy and a senescence marker, respectively in the NPs internalized HaCaT cells incubated in a fresh, NPs-free medium.”
