A new study reveals that microplastics can block blood flow in the brain, potentially leading to neurological issues like ...

“Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, [but] how [microplastics] cause brain functional irregularities ...

We've only recently discovered microplastics are a thing and we still don't know exactly how bad they are for our health.

Studies in mice show that microplastics entering the bloodstream are engulfed by immune cells, forming clusters that can ...

Microplastics may cause blockages in blood vessels in the brain and affect behavior, according to a study on mice.

Trapped immune cells laden with microplastics starve the brain of oxygen—mouse study links vascular blockages to memory loss ...

With microplastics now permeating our food and our bodies, researchers are keen to assess the potential damage these tiny fragments could be doing.

Real-time imaging shows how plastic-stuffed cells form clumps that affect mouse movement.

The protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged cells clumped up in the brain ...

Earlier studies done mostly on mice discovered that the brain had a system that flushed its tissues with cerebrospinal fluid, which carried away waste products in a process called glymphatic clearance ...

The implications of this research could redefine the boundary between life and death, help people on the cusp of death, and ...

Ageing is associated with progressive mental decline . This is due to loss of brain volume and inadequate generation of new neurons (nerve cells) .
