Researchers found a spoon's worth of nanoplastics in human brains — the latest evidence that plastic is accumulating in our bodies
Researchers studied samples of human brains and found high levels of microplastics, but it's unclear how they slip past the ...
You might have a spoon's worth of microplastics - in your brain.
New study shows plastic accumulates in the brain, as well as other body parts. Scientists don't know what impact it has if any.
Our brains are filling with more and more microplastics, study shows
A new study shows that microplastics are making their way into our brains, and that their concentrations are rising.
Human brain samples contain an entire spoon’s worth of nanoplastics, study says
Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.
Scientists find more microplastics in human brains than in kidneys and livers—and levels are rising
Tiny plastic particles may accumulate at higher levels in the human brain than in the kidney and liver, with greater ...
Nature-inspired nanotechnology acts as body's own courier service for genetic medicines

Most complex model of molecular 'wear-and-tear' to date shines light on how proteins age
The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.
Alarming levels of microplastics found in human brains
A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.
As global plastic production grows, so does the concentration of microplastics in our brains
Scientists have uncovered the minuscule waste products in human blood, lungs, brains, hearts and testicles. But a new study, ...
