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

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

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.

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

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

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

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.

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 ...
