The abstract for this entry describes growing global concerns about micro- and nanoplastics and the need for better analytical methods to detect and characterize them. The title refers to a protein interaction study in yeast, indicating a database mismatch.

Micro-nano plastics originating from the prevalent usage of plastics have raised increasingly alarming concerns worldwide. However, there remains a fundamental knowledge gap in nanoplastics because of the lack of effective analytical ...Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (<1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In particular, nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic since their ...

Analysing biotoxicity effects on Saccharomyces cerevisiae of nanoplastics and evaluating the biological effects using an integrated biomarker response index

AI summary Read the abstract

Exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to three polystyrene nanoplastic variants (unmodified, carboxylated, aminated) paradoxically promoted yeast growth while simultaneously elevating oxidative stress biomarkers including ROS, MDA, and SOD, with aminated nanoplastics showing the greatest toxicity at all concentrations tested. The findings demonstrate that surface chemistry — not just concentration — determines nanoplastic toxicity, a key insight for modeling ecological and human health risks from nanoplastic pollution.
