Gestational exposure to PM2.5 leads to cognitive dysfunction in mice offspring via promoting HMGB1-NLRP3 axis mediated hippocampal inflammation

Tianliang Zhang et al.

Summary: Gestational exposure to PM2.5 activates the HMGB1-NLRP3 pathway in the hippocampus of mice offspring, leading to cognitive impairment. Down-regulation of HMGB1 during pregnancy can alleviate the resulting damage, inhibit inflammation, and mitigate cognitive decline.

Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health

Maxine Swee-Li Yee et al.

Summary: Plastics have significant impacts on daily life but are often disposed of after single use, causing environmental issues. Concerns about toxicity of nano-plastics to the environment and human health exist, yet research on human health impacts remains limited.

Toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics and zinc oxide to mice

Fernanda Neves Estrela et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of zinc oxide and polystyrene nanoplastics on Swiss mice, showing that exposure led to cognitive impairment without causing changes in locomotor or anxiety-related behaviors. Accumulation of nanomaterials in the brain was observed, but there were no differences between the effects of exposure to the binary combination of pollutants and the control group.

Targeting Microglial α-Synuclein/TLRs/NF-kappaB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis in Parkinson's Disease

Yunna Li et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the excessive activation of microglia and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The elevated level of NLRP3 inflammasome in activated microglia in the substantia nigra of PD patients exacerbates the pathology and accelerates disease progression. Current therapeutic drugs for PD primarily focus on relieving clinical symptoms, as there are no established strategies to stop or reverse the disease.

Underestimated health risks: polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics jointly induce intestinal barrier dysfunction by ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis

Boxuan Liang et al.

Summary: The study found that the combination of PS50 and PS500 in the mouse intestines could lead to dysfunction of the intestinal barrier, primarily through ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis. It suggests that the health risks of exposure to PS micro- and nanoplastics on organisms may be underestimated due to previous studies focusing on single particle sizes.
