Cellular Toxicity of Short‐ and Long‐Term Exposures to Polystyrene Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Fish Skin Cell Derived From Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitous presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) is raising concerns about their impact on the health of humans and other living organisms. Due to its tiny size, this particle can accumulate and circulate in the body after uptake, resulting in a variety of harmful outcomes on the organism, such as increased oxidative stress and

An overview of the effects of nanoplastics on marine organisms

, 2022
The ubiquity and detrimental effects of plastics in the environment have become global environmental concerns over the past decade. Intensive anthropogenic activities, such as urbanisation, industrialisation and increasing population density, have ...

Potential Neuroendocrine Disruption by Benzodiazepines and Its Impact on Male Fertility

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroactive substances have emerged as potent endocrine disruptors affecting male reproductive health through central and peripheral mechanisms. Among these, benzodiazepines, which are widely used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and neuromuscular disorders, are known as GABA A (gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A) receptor ...

In vitro cell-transforming potential of secondary polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid nanoplastics [PDF]

Continuous exposure to plastic pollutants may have serious consequences on human health. However, most toxicity assessments focus on non-environmentally relevant particles and rarely investigate long-term effects such as cancer induction.

Effects of Glyphosate and Glyphosate‐Based Herbicides on the Mammalian Gut Microbiome: A Critical Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Quantitative and rapid detection of nanoplastics labeled by luminescent metal phenolic networks using surface enhanced Raman scattering [PDF]

The rising incidence of nanoplastics contamination in environmental ecosystems has led to substantial health risks. Traditional analysis methods are suboptimal due to their inability to efficiently analyze nanoplastics at low concentrations and time ...

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 ...

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...
