Microplastics and human Health
Microplastics harm human health by triggering chronic inflammation, disrupting hormones, and impairing metabolism. Elora Therapeutics is pioneering enzyme therapies to safely degrade these pollutants inside the body, targeting common plastics for elimination. This innovative approach offers hope against microplastic-related diseases with no current treatments available.
