Summary

Researchers used a three-dimensional intestinal model to study how nanoplastic particles interact with human gut tissue, finding that nanoplastics can cross the intestinal epithelial barrier and induce inflammatory responses, providing more physiologically relevant evidence than prior two-dimensional cell culture studies of nanoplastic health risks.

Much attention has been paid in recent years to the fate of microplastics in the environment. Several studies have shown that microplastics can be taken up by a variety of organisms (e.g., fish, mussels, zooplankton, sea urchin, birds) and thus can cause adverse...
