Micro- and nanoplastics: A new cardiovascular risk factor?
Exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) is inevitable due to their omnipresence in the environment. A growing body of studies has advanced our understanding of the potential toxicity of MNPs but knowledge gaps still exist regarding the adverse effects of MNPs on the cardiovascular system and…

Underestimated health risks: polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics jointly induce intestinal barrier dysfunction by ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis
BACKGROUND: Micro- and nanoplastic pollution has become a global environmental problem. Nanoplastics in the environment are still hard to detect because of analysis technology limitations. It is believed that when microplastics are found in the environment, more undetected nanoplastics are around…

Enhanced immunotherapy response in lung adenocarcinoma patients with COPD: insights into tumor cells and immune microenvironment characteristics
Abstract Background Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are major global health challenges, and their coexistence in patients presents unique clinical complexities. Interestingly, patients with both lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and COPD show reduced responses to conventional…

Polystyrene nanoplastics accelerate atherosclerosis: Unraveling the impact on smooth muscle cells through KIF15-mediated migration
Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) originating from plastic pollution pose potential threats to cardiovascular health, with prior studies linking MNPs to atherosclerosis. Our earlier research elucidated how nanoplastics enhance macrophages' phagocytic activity, leading to the formation of foam…

Degradation reshapes the toxic identity of polylactic acid microplastics through MSR1-dependent immune decoding in mouse kidney
Abstract Background Biodegradable plastics are increasingly being used as a sustainable alternative, but their degradation in biological environments may produce transformation products with unexpected toxicological characteristics. These products generate a distribution pattern in the kidneys that…

Investigation of Microplastics (≥10 μm) in Meconium by Fourier Transform Infrared Microspectroscopy
Microplastics are prevalent emerging pollutants with widespread distribution in air, land and water. They have been detected in human stool, blood, lungs, and placentas. However, human fetal microplastic exposure remains largely under-studied. To assess fetal microplastic exposure, we investigated…

Subsite‐specific metastatic organotropism and risk in gastric cancer: A population‐based cohort study of the US SEER database and a Chinese single‐institutional registry
Abstract Background Studies exploring whether metastatic organotropism and risk in gastric cancer (GC) differ by primary anatomical site are scarce. Methods This study included 15,260 and 1623 patients diagnosed with GC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry database…

1,2-Dichloroethane induces cortex demyelination by depressing myelin basic protein via inhibiting aquaporin 4 in mice
1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) is a pervasive environmental pollutant, and overexposure to this hazardous material causes brain edema and demyelination in humans. We found that 1,2-DCE inhibits aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and is a primary pathogenic effector of 1,2-DCE-induced brain edema in animals. However…

Long‐Chain Acyl Carnitines Aggravate Polystyrene Nanoplastics‐Induced Atherosclerosis by Upregulating MARCO
Abstract Exposure to micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) is common because of their omnipresence in environment. Recent studies have revealed that MNPs may cause atherosclerosis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To address this bottleneck, ApoE−/− mice are exposed to 2.5–250 mg kg−1…

1,2-Dichloroethane induces testicular pyroptosis by activating piR-mmu-1019957/IRF7 pathway and the protective effects of melatonin
1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) is a prevalent environmental contaminant, and our study revealed its induction of testicular toxicity in mice upon subacute exposure. Melatonin, a prominent secretory product of the pineal gland, has been shown to offer protection against pyroptosis in male reproductive…

Endogenous 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid mediates amplified estrogenic responses under nanoplastic–homosalate coexposure
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) can enhance the toxicity of co-occurring chemicals via a proposed “Trojan horse” effect, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the estrogenic effects of coexposure of ultraviolet filter homosalate (HMS) and polystyrene nanosphere (PNS)…

Aged polylactic acid microplastics exacerbate lipid metabolism disorders and cardiac dysfunction via PPARγ activation in zebrafish: A comparative study with polymers and oligomers
Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable plastic, is increasingly promoted as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. However, its degradation under non-composting conditions and associated toxicological impacts remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to compare the toxicity of…
