Nanoplastics linked to Parkinson’s and some types of dementia – new study
2023
J Heller
Summary
Researchers found that microscopic polystyrene nanoplastic flakes can enter brain cells in mice and trigger cellular damage associated with Parkinson's disease and certain forms of dementia, providing early mechanistic evidence linking nanoplastic brain exposure to neurodegenerative outcomes.
Microscopic flakes of polystyrene can enter brain cells and cause harm, a new study in mice has shown.
