Micro-/nano-plastics accentuate Parkinson’s Disease-relevant phenotypes in a <i>Drosophila</i> model

2025-11-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Micro- and nano-plastic (MNP) particles are a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that are increasingly bioaccumulating in human tissues, particularly the brain. MNPs induce mitochondrial defects, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses and neurotoxicity in cellular and organismal models. This raises the possibility that MNP exposure could cause or exacerbate neurological conditions associated...
