By Bobby Bascomb A new study has found a dramatic increase in levels of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in human brains ...

Microplastics are accumulating in human brains at alarming rates, with concentrations rising 50% in the past eight years. Researchers found plastic fragments as small as 200 nanometers, possibly ...

A research team has discovered that the two key pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's -- tau protein and beta-amyloid -- affect brain circuits in distinct yet synergistic ways, particularly those ...

A recent study has found microplastics are accumulating in the human brain, with potential connections to diseases such as ...

The researchers believe they’re the first to find shards of plastic in the human brain, after similar findings in animal ...

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

A research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) has discovered that the two key pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's—tau protein and beta-amyloid ...

There is some evidence that the accumulation of microplastics, especially in critical organs like the liver, can interfere with normal biological functions. Data from the study also found microplastic ...

Scientists examining postmortem brain tissue found microplastic levels significantly higher in the brain compared to other ...
