Microplastic exposure and allergic rhinitis: Network toxicology, and molecular docking insights

Researchers used network toxicology and molecular docking approaches to investigate how microplastic exposure may contribute to allergic rhinitis. The study identified key molecular mediators through which microplastics may drive respiratory inflammation pathways, and found that resveratrol could potentially modulate these pathways, offering insights into the mechanisms linking microplastic exposure to allergic respiratory conditions.

Correction to: No prominent toxicity of polyethylene microplastics observed in neonatal mice following intratracheal instillation to dams during gestational and neonatal period

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.

Intersection of microplastic toxicity targets and differentially expressed genes in allergic rhinitis.

Network analysis identified a set of genes that are both targeted by common microplastics (PE, PP, PVC, PS) and differentially expressed in allergic rhinitis, providing a molecular framework for investigating how microplastic exposure may contribute to nasal allergy pathogenesis.

Correction for Ma et al., Selective activation of the M 1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor achieved by allosteric potentiation

The abstract for this entry describes growing concerns about micro- and nanoplastics in the environment, noting that nanoplastics are considered potentially more toxic than larger microplastics due to their smaller size. The title is a correction notice for an unrelated pharmacology paper, suggesting a database mismatch.

Erratum: Microplastics, potential threat to patients with lung diseases

This entry is an erratum correcting a previously published article on microplastics as a potential threat to patients with lung diseases, providing updated or corrected information to the original study. No new scientific findings are presented beyond the correction to the prior publication.
