Toxicity of micro- and nanoplastics beyond cytotoxicity : cellular and bioenergetic effects on human cells
Authors/Creators
Description
In the present study, part of the IMPTOX project, microbiological and toxicological interactions of MNPs and their potential cargo were investigated using state-of-the art methods, such as the Agilent Seahorse XFe96 analyzer and Sartorius SX5 live cell imaging. Using 2D and 3D in vitro cell models with a chronic exposure approach, we gained insights into the potential toxic mechanisms provoked by MNP exposure and the effect of co-exposure of MNPs and contaminants (mycotoxins and cyanotoxins).
Presented at IAFP's European Symposium on Food Safety 2024, Geneva, Switzerland.
This research was conducted in the context of WP6 of the EU Horizon2020 "Imptox" project.
