As environmental plastic waste degrades, it creates an abundance of diverse microplastic particles. Consequently, microplastics contaminate drinking water and many staple food products, meaning the oral ingestion is important exposure route for human population. Microplastics have long been considered inert, however their ability to promote microbial dysbiosis as well gut inflammation dysfunction suggests they are more noxious than first thought. More alarmingly, there evidence permeating from throughout body, with adverse effects on immune nervous systems. Coupled now-accepted role gut-brain axis in neurodegeneration, these findings support hypothesis that this ubiquitous pollutant contributing rising incidence neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease. This comprehensive narrative review explores consequences gut-brain-axis by considering current gastrointestinal uptake disruption, activation, translocation neurological effects. now a permanent feature global environment, understanding gut, brain, whole body will facilitate critical further research inform policy changes aimed at reducing any consequences.

Abstract Emerging evidence indicates that chemical exposures in the environment are overlooked drivers of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Recent suggests micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) particles derived largely from or mechanical degradation plastics might represent a novel CVD risk factor. Experimental data preclinical models suggest MNPs can foster oxidative stress, platelet aggregation, cell senescence, inflammatory responses endothelial immune cells while promoting range metabolic alterations lead to disease premature death. In humans, various plastics, including polyethylene polyvinylchloride, have been detected atherosclerotic plaques other tissues, pericardia, epicardial adipose pericardial myocardia, left atrial appendages. measurable levels within thrombi seem accumulate preferentially areas vascular lesions. Their presence carotid is associated with subsequent increased incidence events. To further investigate possible causal role CVD, future studies should focus on large, prospective cohorts assessing exposure individuals plastic-related pollution, routes absorption, existence putative safety limit, correspondence between accumulation timing development, pathophysiological mechanisms instigated by pertinent concentrations MNPs. Data such would allow design preventive, even therapeutic, strategies. Meanwhile, existing reducing plastic production use will produce benefits for human health. This goal could be achieved through UN Global Plastics Treaty currently negotiation.

By mimicking the biological process in which chameleons change lattice spacing of guanine nanocrystals to form and regulate their skin color, scientists have prepared force-chromic photonic crystal materials (FPMs) by encapsulating arrays nanospheres elastic matrices. However, low refractive index difference (Δn) between conventional matrix combinations typically makes material transparent with color reflectance. Besides, is mostly dominated hydrogel materials, gradually decrease or even lose stability sensing as solvent evaporates. PS@SiO2 core–shell a high while reducing risk microplasticity are ideal for preparing FPMs. In this work, we explored preparation method elastomers (FPEs) embedding them into di(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether acrylate (DEGEEA) polyethylene glycol monophenyl ester (PEGPEA) matrices via coassembly method. It was found that due large Δn (Δn > 0.05), FPE possessed reflectivity (R 82%), under force stimulation obvious. Meanwhile, had good tensile strain sensitivity (1.62 nm/%). Due absence solvents system, has excellent stability, structural remains unchanged 50 stretch/release cycling experiments. This not only simple method, fast response, reflectivity, but through validation experiments it great potential fields sensing, signal transmission, smart textiles.

In order to overcome the bioavailability limitation of Lilium polysaccharide (LPS) caused by its high molecular weight and complex structure, two low-molecular-weight degraded polysaccharides, namely G-LPS(8) G-LPS(16), were prepared through enzymatic degradation. The LPS was significantly reduced enzymolysis, leading increased exposure internal functional groups altering molar ratio constituent monosaccharides. results antioxidant experiments showed that hydrolysis had potential enhance performance LPS. vitro fermentation revealed derivatives exerted different prebiotic effects on intestinal microbial communities. Specifically, mainly inhibited growth harmful bacteria such as Fusobacterium, while G-LPS(16) tended promote beneficial like Megamonas, Bacteroides, Parabacteroides. Metabolomic analysis LPSs with varying weights comparable promoting multiple amino acid carbohydrate metabolic pathways.
