A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.

A new platform for studying neuroinflammatory diseases, utilizing advanced 3D bioprinting technology has been developed.

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

Scientists found microplastics in all 52 examined human brains. Newer brain samples had more plastic than older ones.

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

The new study shows a significant increase in the presence of microplastics and even smaller-diameter nanoplastics in the ...

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

Discover how a revolutionary 3D Blood-Brain Barrier model advances the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and drug ...

A new study found that the brain may contain higher levels of microplastics, equivalent to the amount found in a standard ...

weathered plastic shards” in brain tissue, including blood vessel walls and immune cells, in human bodies donated to research. Experts hope their imagining approach will continue to be used to ...

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

Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows.
