Obtaining clearer and more detailed microscopic images deep within tissue has become a rich area of research in fields ranging from adaptive optics to photodynamic therapy. Visualising biological ...

A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.

The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent ...

With the increased use in consumer products came elevated microscopic plastic pollution circulating in soil and waterways, eventually accumulating in the environment, food webs and human tissues.

When a virus enters the human body, it’s in a race against ... because once the body’s immune system detects the intruder, an all-out microscopic war follows. While the Sars-CoV-2 virus ...
