This project aims to explore the impact of micro- and nanoplastics on brain health by developing a blood-brain barrier-on-a-chip model. It will investigate how these particles penetrate the barrier and their potential long-term effects on cognitive function and neurodegenerative diseases.
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) have recently been detected in human brain tissues, raising significant concerns about their potential role in brain health.
However, there remains a critical gap in understanding how MNPs enter the brain, whether they can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the mechanisms involved in their interaction with brain tissues.
Current studies have been limited by the absence of suitable BBB models and advanced analytical techniques.This project aims to address this…
