There is growing interest in the use of bio-based materials as viable alternatives to petrochemical-based packaging. However, practical application films often hampered by their poor barrier and mechanical properties. In this context, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have attracted considerable attention owing exceptional biodegradability, high aspect ratio, large surface area. The extraction CNFs from agricultural waste or non-food biomass represents a sustainable approach that can effectively balance cost environmental impacts. functionalization improves economics raw production processes while expanding applications. This paper reviews recent advances nanofibers, including sources, modification, characterization techniques. Furthermore, we systematically discuss interactions with different composites development functional food films. Finally, highlight nanofiber preservation. Due environmentally friendly properties, are promising alternative petroleum-based plastics. aim present latest discoveries exploring future prospects for edible films, thereby encouraging further research field active

This study aimed to detect and characterize microplastics in intervertebral disc investigate their effects molecular mechanism on degeneration. We collected tissues from cervical, lumbar, thoracolumbar segments used Raman spectroscopy identify microplastics. Among 80 samples, 47 contained microplastics, with polyethylene being the most prevalent type. To explore of (PE-MPs), we established a mouse model nucleus pulposus cell model. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed via immunofluorescence staining, viability was measured using CCK-8 assay, protein expression related Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) axis, oxidative stress, degeneration evaluated through western blotting staining. Results showed that PE-MPs exposure led by inducing stress activating TLR4 / NOX2 which increased senescence cells. These mitigated inhibitors. research highlights existence human tissue unveils novel induced PE-MPs, offering new avenues for clinical treatment microplastic-related
