Global trends and hotspots of gastrointestinal microbiome and toxicity based on bibliometrics
AI summary Read the abstract
This bibliometric analysis mapped global research trends and hotspots in gastrointestinal microbiome and toxicity studies, finding that modifications to the gut microbiome could offer new directions for treating and mitigating toxic exposures.
Despite certain limitations, such as focusing solely on English-language publications and excluding unpublished literature, our findings provide valuable insights into the current state of research on toxicity and the gastrointestinal microbiome. In the future, modifications to the gastrointestinal microbiome could offer new directions for treating and mitigating toxicity. These discoveries provide a comprehensive perspective on the broader scope of this research field.

Toxicological impacts of microplastics on human health: a bibliometric analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
This bibliometric analysis maps the growing body of research on microplastic toxicity and human health, focusing on effects in the gastrointestinal system. Researchers found a rapid increase in studies examining how microplastics deposited in the gut can enter the bloodstream and potentially trigger immune responses. The study highlights emerging research hotspots and identifies key gaps in our understanding of how microplastics affect human health.
A Bibliometric Analysis of Toxicological Impacts of Microplastics in the Environment.
AI summary Read the abstract
This bibliometric analysis of microplastic toxicology research found exponential growth in gut health studies since 2016, highlighting rising concern over how microplastics — especially in combination with heavy metals — cause immunotoxicity, biofilm formation, and accumulation in human tissues.
Gut microbiota at the crossroads of food additives, pollutants, and chronic disease risk
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesized evidence showing that microplastics, PFAS, pesticides, and food additives converge on the gut microbiota to disrupt microbial ecology, barrier integrity, and immune signaling, thereby mediating chronic disease risk. The gut microbiome framing is particularly relevant because it positions microplastic ingestion not just as a physical contaminant issue but as a driver of systemic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction through microbial disruption.
Gut microbiome alterations associated with microplastics: Underestimated risk from tiny particle
AI summary Read the abstract
This review pulls together existing research showing that tiny plastic particles, found in our food, water, and even air, can disrupt the balance of bacteria living in our gut, and this disruption has been linked to problems ranging from digestive diseases to effects on the brain, liver, and reproductive system in animal studies. The catch: scientists still struggle to accurately detect and measure these particles in the body, meaning our real-world exposure and its health effects are likely underestimated. Bottom line, microplastics may be quietly messing with your gut health in ways we're only beginning to understand and measure.
Global Research Trends on Nanoplastics in Food: A Bibliometric Analysis of Human Health Concerns
AI summary Read the abstract
A bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed publications from 2015 to 2024 examined global research trends on nanoplastics in food and human health. Publications increased sharply after 2019, with China as the top contributor, and identified gut toxicity, food packaging, and seawater contamination as the most active research clusters.
