Microplastics in human feces: a pilot study exploring links with dietary habits
Microplastics and NanoplasticsMicroplastic are an emerging environmental contaminant that have raised concerns regarding their potential impact on human health. Ingestion is considered the primary route of human microplastic exposure, with food and beverage contamination being major ...

Microplastic-mediated transport of PCBs? A depuration study with Daphnia magna.
PLoS ONE, 2019 The role of microplastic (MP) as a carrier of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to aquatic organisms has been a topic of debate. However, the reverse POP transport can occur if relative contaminant concentrations are higher in the organism than in the

Selective Sequential Depolymerization of Mixed Plastics Mediated by Photothermal Conversion
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work provides a selective sequential depolymerization strategy for mixed plastic waste. The method enables depolymerization of poly(L‐lactide), polystyrene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate), including their post‐consumer plastics. Without presorting, monomer separation is achieved by leveraging the distinct chemical reactivities of each polymer in

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Microplastics (MPs) breach the gut‐brain axis by triggering taurine‐depleting microbiota dysbiosis that accelerates Alzheimer‐like pathology in 5XFAD mice. Taurine supplementation normalizes autophagy, microglial quiescence, and cognition, and plasma taurine inversely tracks cognitive decline in ADNI participants, revealing a readily translatable ...

Rapidly Diversifying Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Frameworks With Permanent Porosity
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This article reviews diversifying hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with permanent porosity reported over the past 15 years, based on the molecular structures of their constituent tectons. Furthermore, several distinctive aspects and concepts are described, such as permanent porosity, isostructural (isoreticular) HOFs, and multicomponent mixed ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coacervate droplets formed via liquid–liquid phase separation offer unique opportunities as microreactors and delivery vehicles due to their ability to selectively concentrate biomolecules and support biochemical reactions. However, their passive nature severely restricts precise spatial and temporal control, posing barriers to practical ...
