ClearCaenorhabditis elegans as a Prediction Platform for Nanotechnology-Based Strategies: Insights on Analytical Challenges
This review examines the use of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism for evaluating the safety and toxicity of nanotechnology-based materials, including nanoplastics. Researchers highlight the advantages of C. elegans for toxicological screening, including its transparency, genetic tractability, and fast response to environmental contaminants. The study suggests that C. elegans is a valuable platform for assessing the impacts of emerging pollutants like nanoplastics and nanopesticides from a holistic health perspective.
Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models
This review examines multigenerational effects of nanomaterials, including nanoplastics, studied in non-mammalian models such as nematodes, water fleas, and zebrafish. Researchers found common effects across generations including altered life-history traits, oxidative stress, and transfer of nanomaterials to offspring. The study highlights that co-exposure to nanoplastics alongside other pollutants can produce either synergistic toxicity or alleviating effects depending on the combination.
