This project studies the impact of nano-sized plastics on the immune system, particularly their effects on brain function. It aims to explore how these particles influence microglial activation and potentially lead to neurological disorders through animal models.
An omnipresent but understudied environmental risk for our immune system is pollution by nano-sized plastics.
Plastic particles have been detected in a wide variety of ecosystems and are speculated to enter and spread in the food web all the way to humans.
Ingested nanoplastics can translocate from the gut to the lymph and circulatory systems and have the capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier in mammals.
It has been recently shown that nanoplastics cause behavioural disorders in fish, and th…
