Correction: Potentiation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon uptake in zebrafish embryos by nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a study on nanoplastics potentiating the uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in zebrafish embryos. The correction updates details in the original paper rather than presenting new findings.
Bioaccumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics and their effect on the toxicity of Au ions in zebrafish embryos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied the bioaccumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics in zebrafish embryos and their interaction with gold ions. They found that smaller nanoplastics readily penetrated the embryo's protective membrane and accumulated in lipid-rich regions, particularly the yolk. While nanoplastics alone caused only marginal toxic effects, their presence synergistically amplified the toxicity of gold ions through increased oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, suggesting that nanoplastics may worsen the harmful effects of co-occurring environmental contaminants.
Uptake Routes and Biodistribution of Polystyrene Nanoplastics on Zebrafish Larvae and Toxic Effects on Development
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed zebrafish embryos and larvae to amino-modified polystyrene nanoplastics to study uptake routes and biodistribution. The study found that nanoplastics accumulated in target organs and caused toxic developmental effects, providing evidence that these tiny plastic fragments can penetrate biological barriers and interfere with normal development in aquatic organisms.

Bioaccumulation of various nanoplastic particles in larval zebrafish (Danio rerio)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to 40-60 nm and 100 nm polystyrene nanoplastic particles using standard fish embryo toxicity and general behavioral toxicity assays from 6-120 hours post-fertilization, combining toxicity endpoints with fluorescence microscopy to confirm particle uptake and excretion. The study demonstrated nanoplastic accumulation within zebrafish larvae at tested concentrations, providing mechanistic insights into aquatic organism exposure dynamics for nanoplastics.
