Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Nanoplastics exposure-induced mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to disrupted stem cell differentiation in human cerebral organoids

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Nanoplastics are ubiquitous in our daily lives, raising concerns about their potential impact on the human brain. Many studies reported that nanoplastics permeate the blood-brain barrier and influence cellular processes in mouse models.

Analysis of environmental nanoplastics: Progress and challenges

, 2021
Nanoplastics (<1000 nm) are gaining high attention worldwide as an emerging environmental contaminant because they are easier to be taken up by organisms and likely to pose higher ecological and health risks than microplastics (<5 mm).

Evaluation of bioaccumulation of nanoplastics, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and graphene family materials

Environment International, 2023
Bioaccumulation is a key factor in understanding the potential ecotoxicity of substances. While there are well-developed models and methods to evaluate bioaccumulation of dissolved organic and inorganic substances, it is substantially more challenging to

Effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on the kidneys

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation
ABSTRACT Plastics are hydrophobic carbon polymers with a half-life of ∼500 years. The widespread production and environmental accumulation of plastics pose significant toxicity concerns. Humans are routinely exposed to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), which can enter rate the bloodstream and reach various organs, including the kidneys ...

Developmental Environmental Chronotoxicity by Polystyrene Nanoplastics Exacerbates High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Pediatric MAFLD Through Circadian Disruption and Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polystyrene nanoplastics exacerbate high‐fat diet‐induced metabolic dysfunction in an age‐dependent manner. Juvenile mice exhibit greater susceptibility, characterized by circadian disruption, impaired mitochondrial function, reduced energy metabolism, and enhanced hepatic lipid accumulation.

Stress Response of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts Exposed to Polystyrene Nanoplastics

, 2021
Polystyrene (PS) nanoplastic exposure has been shown to affect the viability of neuronal cells isolated from mouse embryonic brains. However, the viability of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) was not affected although PS nanoplastics accumulated in the
