Correction: Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics in vivo show potential gut health benefits
AI summary Read the abstract
A correction notice for an earlier mouse and lab study of two probiotic strains and polystyrene particles. The notice itself reports no methods or results.

Correction to “Polystyrene Microplastics Disrupt Vertical Transmission of the Breast Milk Microbiome, Impairing Early‐Life Gut Colonization and Immune Development in Offspring”
AI summary Read the abstract
This notice is simply a correction to fix a misspelled author's name ("Sheng Liu") in a previously published study, it doesn't change any of the actual research findings. The original study itself looked at how microplastics in breast milk might interfere with the beneficial bacteria passed from mom to baby, potentially affecting a newborn's gut health and immune system development. If you're interested in the science on microplastics and infant health, it's worth checking out the original 2026 paper rather than this correction notice.
Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics in vivo show potential gut health benefits
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers screened 784 bacterial strains for the ability to bind polystyrene particles in the lab and selected two, L. paracasei DT66 and L. plantarum DT88. Mice given the strains passed 34% more polystyrene in feces and had 67% less left in the intestine. DT88 also lowered intestinal inflammation in the mice.
Correction: Comprehensive investigation on microplastics from source to sink
AI summary Read the abstract
This correction clarifies that a prior review paper mischaracterized evidence on microplastic gut translocation, replacing the incorrect statement that most spherical microplastics pass through the gut wall with the accurate interpretation of the cited source.
Correction to: No prominent toxicity of polyethylene microplastics observed in neonatal mice following intratracheal instillation to dams during gestational and neonatal period
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to an earlier study that found no significant toxicity from polyethylene microplastics in newborn mice exposed through their mothers. The correction addresses a methodological detail in the original paper. The underlying finding — that intratracheal exposure to polyethylene microplastics during pregnancy and nursing caused no prominent toxicity — remains unchanged.
Correction: Chitosan with defined intrinsic viscosity enables physicochemical entrapment of microplastics under in vitro gastric conditions.
AI summary Read the abstract
A correction notice for a 2026 study of chitosan and microplastics under simulated stomach conditions. The notice contains no methods or results.
