PS Nanoplastics, Cadmium, and Intestinal Apoptosis
2026-08-20
A 2026 Toxicology study used C. elegans and Caco-2 cells to show that polystyrene nanoplastics and cadmium jointly promote intestinal apoptosis through the IP3R/Ca2+/STAT3 axis. Pharmacological inhibition and calcium chelation provide functional evidence that intracellular calcium dysregulation contributes to the toxic response, informing environmental toxicology and apoptosis research.

Prolonged Hypoxia Activates NLRP3 in Urothelial Cells
2026-08-18
The reference study shows that hypoxia duration determines whether rat urothelial cells develop NLRP3 inflammasome-associated inflammation. Six hours of enzyme-induced hypoxia increased intracellular caspase-1 activity, whereas two hours produced hypoxic signaling without detectable inflammasome activation; antioxidant and verapamil interventions implicate a ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway.
