Metrnl: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Atherosclerosis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the main pathological basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Exploration of endogenous protective factors in the disease is beneficial for the establishment of new therapeutic strategies.

Colonic Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation Induced by Nano‐/Micro‐Plastics Fibers in Mice via the FAK/NF‐κB/iNOS and TLR4/NF‐κB/iNOS Pathways

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As emerging environmental contaminants, nano‐ and micro‐plastics (NMPs) have drawn increasing research attention due to potential hazards to organisms. Particle shape is a key factor influencing the toxic effects of NMPs, and NMPs of different shapes cause varying degrees of tissue damage. We investigated the specific mechanisms of polystyrene

Parental Exposure to Nanoplastics and Graphene Oxide Induces Transgenerational Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) represents a growing threat to global health and ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of parental exposure, both isolated and combined, to 100 μg/L NPs (polystyrene, spherical, 100 nm) and 100 mg/L GO, using Caenorhabditis elegans as ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

HoloSpec: Dispersion‐Based 4D Computational Holographic Hyperspectral Imaging

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
HoloSpec, a compact dispersion‐based computational holographic system, achieves four‐dimensional imaging by retrieving 3D spatial structure and high‐resolution spectra from only two monochromatic snapshots. Using a single prism and a monochrome sensor, it resolves 430 spectral channels with 3 nm experimental resolution and 30 μm$\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$

Chemically and Mechanically Recyclable Polyolefins Incorporating Covalent Adaptable Networks

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Low‐molecular‐weight polypropylene is converted into a crosslinked polyolefin containing a covalently adaptable network. The semicrystalline material remains melt‐processable and mechanically recyclable. Its thermal and mechanical properties are comparable to commercial polyolefins.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Performance Evaluation of Compression‐Molded Recycled Mixed Plastic Fractions From Light Packaging

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Mixed HDPE/PP bottle‐cap waste was successfully processed through closed‐loop mechanical recycling. The recycled blends maintained stable thermal, rheological, and mechanical performance over multiple cycles, demonstrating the feasibility of valorizing heterogeneous polyolefin waste without advanced polymer separation.
