Polypropylene Nanoplastic Exposure to Respiratory Epithelial Barrier‐On‐Chip and Interfacial Interactions With Human Serum Albumin

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 3488-3503, October 2026.
Exposure to 305 nm PP NPs significantly disrupts the airway barrier‐on‐chip, reducing TEER, suppressing ZO‐1/ACE2 expression, and triggering ROS‐mediated apoptosis. In biological media, PP NPs exhibit a biphasic adsorption pattern, leading to the formation of a protein corona that increases their size to 364 nm.

Identifying the origins of nanoplastics in the abyssal South Atlantic using backtracking Lagrangian simulations with fragmentation

Ocean and Coastal Research
During an expedition in January 2019, nanoplastics were sampled at a depth of −5,170 m over Cape Basin, in the South Atlantic Ocean. Using photo-induced force microscopy, it was suggested that these were polyethylene terephthalate (PET-like) particles ...

Pathways of Epithelial Barrier Breakdown and Remodeling in Esophageal Organoids by Commonly Used Surfactants

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 3659-3672, October 2026.
This study shows that SDS and CAPB directly impair esophageal epithelial barrier integrity in primary EoE‐derived models. SDS induces stronger inflammatory, oxidative stress, and keratinization responses than CAPB. Both surfactants promote epithelial remodeling and partial epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), with CAPB showing a distinct ...

Single-Particle Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy of Nanoplastics

Understanding of nanoplastic prevalence and toxicology is limited by imaging challenges resulting from their small size. Fluorescence microscopy is widely applied to track and identify microplastics in laboratory studies and environmental samples ...

The External Exposome and Food Allergy: How Environmental Exposures Shape Disease Risk

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 3472-3487, October 2026.
ABSTRACT IgE‐mediated food allergy is a global health issue with rising prevalence that cannot be explained by genetic change alone, strongly suggesting that environmental exposures are a key driver. The external exposome encompasses several exposures that influence the developing immune system and modify food allergy risk.

Effects of Nanoplastics on the Living Environment

The occurrence of anthropogenic substances in the biotic environment is considered a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Plastic fragments are a typical example of anthropogenic elements that have a multitude of direct and indirect ...

Interaction of Polystyrene Nanoplastic with Lipid Membranes

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B
As demonstrated in in vitro studies, polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) are effectively internalized by various cells. All known mechanisms of PSNP internalization involve the initial step of their interaction with the cell membrane, highlighting the importance of understanding such interactions at the molecular level.

Fluoride as a Modifier of Metallome Homeostasis: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Fluoride is widely used for caries prevention due to its effects on mineralized tissues, yet its potential role as a modifier of systemic metal homeostasis remains insufficiently explored. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical evidence on the association between fluoride exposure and changes in metal and semi‐metal concentrations ...

Remediation of Micro- and Nanoplastics by Membrane Technologies

Membranes
Micro- and nanoplastics (NPs) cannot be completely removed from water/wastewater in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). According to the literature analysis, membrane processes, one of the advanced treatment technologies, are the most effective and promising technologies for the removal of ...

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...
