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

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

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 ...

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

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