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

A 3D model accurately mimicking the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by ...

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

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.

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

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

A team of doctors and scientists have found "clear evidence" of a cause of neurodegeneration in people with Alzheimer’s disease."Changes in the orchestration of brain oxygenation dynamics and neuronal ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples ...

“We focused on the brain due to its critical importance ... “We will enhance our imaging techniques for the detection of microplastics in human blood vessels, and investigate whether ...

The brain may contain higher -- and more significant -- amounts of microplastics than other organs in the body, according to ...
