Abstract
The interaction of nanoplastics with trophoblasts can potentially disrupt fetal development. The additives associated with nanoplastics, their surface chemistry, and protein corona may lead to oxidative stress and affect the cellular functions. Detailed studies revealing a clear mechanism using an advanced placental model is essential to assess developmental toxicity and guide risk assessment.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Research in Toxicology publishes Articles, Rapid Reports, Chemical Profiles, Reviews, Perspectives, Letters to the Editor, and ToxWatch on a wide range of topics in Toxicology that inform a chemical and molecular understanding and capacity to predict biological outcomes on the basis of structures and processes. The overarching goal of activities reported in the Journal are to provide knowledge and innovative approaches needed to promote intelligent solutions for human safety and ecosystem preservation. The journal emphasizes insight concerning mechanisms of toxicity over phenomenological observations. It upholds rigorous chemical, physical and mathematical standards for characterization and application of modern techniques.
