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.

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in ... “Studies have found these plastics in the human heart, the great blood vessels, the lungs, the liver, the testes, the ...
