Fig. 1From: Amine-modified nanoplastics promote the procoagulant activation of isolated human red blood cells and thrombus formation in ratsScreening for the effect of polystyrene on size and surface in human RBCs. We treated human RBCs with 100 µg/mL of amine-modified polystyrene 50 nm (A50), 100 nm (A100), and 1000 nm (A1000) in size; 100 nm plain polystyrene (P100); and 100 nm carboxyl-modified polystyrene (C100). Subsequently, hemolysis was evaluated (n = 4–6) (A). The size distribution of PS-NPs in Ringer’s solution detected using DLS (B). Data are presented as the mean ± SE. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus control (CON)Back to article page
