Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during ...

by binding to pathogens to inhibit their toxic effects or infectivity (neutralization), by coating pathogens and facilitating their uptake and killing by phagocytes (opsonization) and by ...

“Further investigation suggested that immune cells known as neutrophils and phagocytes had ingested the bright plastic specks. Some of these cells probably got trapped in the tight curves of tiny ...

Researchers have found that microplastics from plastic water bottles may cause heart blockages. The relationship between microplastics and heart block ...

Aligning therapies with the biologic clock may improve efficacy, as macrophage activity peaks early in the morning, worsening inflammatory disease symptoms.

“Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, [but] how [microplastics] cause brain functional irregularities remains unclear,” wrote the study’s authors.
