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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Researchers develop 3D blood-brain barrier model to study Alzheimers and neuroinflammation New platform created to improve ...

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 ...
