Source Data and Raw Images for “Oil-Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury”
AI summary Read the abstract
This study found that tiny plastic particles covered in oil can quickly damage cell walls and cause serious harm to intestinal tissue. The research shows that when nanoplastics (plastic pieces smaller than a human hair) get coated with oils, they become much more dangerous to our digestive system than regular plastic particles. This matters because we're constantly exposed to these oil-coated plastic particles through food packaging, cooking, and environmental pollution, which could be harming our gut health.
The raw data have been provided as a compressed archive file (oilplasticpaperrawdata.zip) together with the revised submission. This archive includes three folders containing the raw data for the main figures and Supplementary Information, as well as the associated source data file (source_data.xlsx).

AI summary Read the abstract
This study found that tiny plastic particles coated with oil can quickly damage cell walls and cause serious harm to intestinal tissue. The research suggests that when microplastics mix with oils (like from food or pollution), they may become more dangerous to our digestive system than plain plastic particles alone. This matters because we're increasingly exposed to microplastics through food and water, and understanding how they interact with other substances helps us better assess health risks.
Oil‐Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers showed that cooking oil dramatically increases nanoplastic and additive release from polypropylene food containers during microwave heating — up to 125-fold more particles than water — and that oil-coated nanoplastics are four times more cytotoxic and cause severe intestinal barrier damage in mice after oral exposure.
Impact of micro- and nanoplastics on gastrointestinal diseases: Recent advances
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes how micro- and nanoplastics can harm the digestive system by causing oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death, and disruption of gut bacteria. These connected pathways can damage the intestinal lining and may contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. The findings highlight the importance of understanding how everyday plastic exposure through food and water could affect gut health over time.
Micro(nano)plastics and Their Potential Impact on Human Gut Health: A Narrative Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes research on how micro- and nanoplastics affect the gut, finding that they can damage the intestinal lining, trigger immune responses, and disrupt the balance of beneficial gut bacteria in both cell studies and animal models. Since humans are primarily exposed to microplastics through food and food packaging, understanding these gut effects is essential for assessing the true health risks of plastic pollution.
Mapping the biological effects of micro- and nanoplastics in mammalian intestinal models: a scoping review.
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes 90 studies on how tiny plastic particles affect gut health, mostly using lab-grown human intestinal cells rather than live animals. Most research used one plastic type (polystyrene) and nanosized particles, finding effects like cell stress, inflammation, and disruption of the gut's protective barrier.
