Maternal exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics impacts developmental milestones and brain structure in mouse offspring
Abstract
Maternal exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics impact postnatal brain development in mouse offspring. This work motivates further studies to determine the levels of nanoplastics in the environment.
The presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (NPs) has recently been reported in human blood and tissues, raising concerns about their potential impacts on human health and fetal development. In this study, we investigated the effects of maternal …
