Fluorescence imaging of microplastics and nanoplastics in biological samples
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed fluorescence imaging techniques for detecting microplastics and nanoplastics in biological samples, highlighting advances in fluorescent dye staining, label-free autofluorescence detection, and super-resolution microscopy that can visualize particles as small as 50 nm inside living organisms.
Physiological Alterations and Immune Modulation in Fish Exposed to Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the physiological and immunological effects of microplastic exposure in fish, finding that these particles smaller than 5 mm induce a range of biological disruptions including immune modulation, oxidative stress, and systemic health impacts with broader implications for aquatic ecosystem integrity.
Microplastics and nanoplastics in human health: a comprehensive review of exposure pathways, cellular mechanisms, and toxicological implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed human exposure pathways to microplastics and nanoplastics through seafood, salt, drinking water, inhalation, and skin contact, examining how these particles cross biological barriers to reach organs and trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption with poorly understood long-term consequences.
Techniques for Sampling, Detection, and Characterization of Microplastics in Water, Sediment, and Tissue Samples
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sampling, detection, and characterization methods used to identify microplastics in water, sediment, and biological tissue samples. Standardized, reliable techniques are critical for generating comparable data across studies, which is necessary to accurately assess the true extent of microplastic contamination in ecosystems and living organisms.
Analysis of Microplastics in Biological Samples: Development and Application of Measurement Techniques
AI summary Read the abstract
This study tested Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) imaging as a method to detect microplastics in human blood and urine, finding it works for blood after alkaline processing but not reliably for urine. Developing validated biomonitoring techniques is essential for accurately measuring how much plastic people carry in their bodies and tracking health risks over time.
