Description
Yingzi Cui and co-authors build a trackable stand-in for nanoplastic in a 2025 study to measure its harm in the body. True nanoplastic is near impossible to count in tissue, so risk limits stay vague. Their proxy wraps a gold core in the same plastic, which lets fine instruments count it exactly.
In dishes, the proxy hurt gut cells much as the real thing did. Mice fed it for ninety-eight days stored it in the gut, lost weight, and showed stress and swelling marks. A math model then stretched the mouse data toward human risk limits.
