Microplastics can cause brain clots in mice. Could they do the same in humans?
We've only recently discovered microplastics are a thing and we still don't know exactly how bad they are for our health. This study doesn't bode well.
Microplastics look like a ‘car crash’ in mice brains
“Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, [but] how [microplastics] cause brain functional irregularities remains unclear,” wrote the study’s authors.
Imaging reveals how microplastics may harm the brain
Studies in mice show that microplastics entering the bloodstream are engulfed by immune cells, forming clusters that can block cerebral blood vessels
Microplastics Can Block Blood Flow in The Brain, Study in Mice Shows
With microplastics now permeating our food and our bodies, researchers are keen to assess the potential damage these tiny fragments could be doing.
Microplastics found in the brains of mice within hours of consumption
A team of environmental biologists at the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, working with one colleague from Duke University, and another from National University of Singapore, has found that it takes microplastics consumed by mice just a few hours to make their way to their brains.
