Microplastics Found in Human Organs, Even Brain, Study Says

Healthcare, Medicine, Neuroscience, Science /

According to a fresh investigation, microplastics could be as prevalent inside the body as they are in the environment.In the study, scientists exposed mice to varying amounts of microplastics through drinking water and observed how these particles affected their organs and behavior. Microplastics are tiny plastic pieces, less than 5 mm long, originating from larger

Meat Consumption Linked to Genetic Bowel Cancer Risk

Healthcare, Medicine /

Researchers, aware of the association between consuming red and processed meat and colorectal cancer rates but lacking comprehension of its biological mechanisms, have recently pinpointed two genetic indicators that might elucidate this connection. Grasping the disease’s progression and the genes involved could aid in devising more effective prevention measures. Bowel cancer, also referred to as

What about Heart Health Threatened by Microplastic Pollution ?

2 Comments / Cell Biology, Healthcare, Science /

How do Microplastic bits affect the heart? A small study from Italy looked into this by checking if these minuscule plastic particles, mostly too small to see (called nanoparticles), were in the artery plaque of the people they studied. The researchers studied 257 individuals who underwent surgery to clear clogged blood vessels. They examined the
