Plasticisers impair normal brain function in vertebrates

"This is a factor that must be taken into account in future risk assessments of these substances"

25-Oct-2024 - Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered that the plasticisers DEHP and DINP have negative effects on normal brain function in vertebrates. These plasticisers are used in products such as PVC, paints, and cosmetics. The researchers reported their findings in the journal ...

Marriage of synthetic biology and 3D printing produces programmable living materials

Applications could someday include biomanufacturing and sustainable construction

03-May-2024 - Scientists are harnessing cells to make new types of materials that can grow, repair themselves and even respond to their environment. These solid “engineered living materials” are made by embedding cells in an inanimate matrix that’s formed in a desired shape. Now, researchers report in ACS ...

PFAS reduce the activity of immune cells

A study demonstrates immune-modifying effect using a new method

21-Jul-2023 - Because they are persistant, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are also known as "chemicals for eternety". They can lead to liver damage, thyroid disorders, obesity, hormonal disorders, and cancer. A team of researchers from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) has now ...

Commercial Dishwashers Destroy Protective Layer in Gut

Chemical residue on clean plates

02-Dec-2022 - Residue from rinse agents is left behind on dishes after they are cleaned in professional-grade dishwashers. This damages the natural protective layer in the gut and can contribute to the onset of chronic diseases, as demonstrated by researchers working with organoids at the Swiss Institute of ...

Synapses as a model: solid-state memory in neuromorphic circuits

Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich publish guide for memristor hardware design

17-Aug-2022 - They are many times faster than flash memory and require significantly less energy: memristive memory cells could revolutionize the energy efficiency of neuromorphic computers. In these computers, which are modeled on the way the human brain works, memristive cells function like artificial ...

How do cells react to micro- and nanoplastics?

Plastic particles could also bind potentially harmful substances to themselves and introduce them into the cell as a "Trojan horse"

13-Jul-2022 - The smaller plastic particles are, the more easily they can be taken up by cells. In addition, the shape, surface and chemical properties play an important role in answering the question of how the particles could affect human tissue. This is the result of a study by researchers at the German ...

Chemicals in plastic may contribute to weight gain

Plastic consumer products contain chemicals that may promote the development of overweight and obesity

28-Jan-2022 - It may sound strange, but chemicals in plastic may make the bathroom scale a less pleasant place to visit. Every day, we come into contact with plastic products. A lot of plastic is found in food packaging. Plastic packaging is common for practical reasons, because it is cheap and because it can ...

Supposedly similar microplastic particles show different levels of toxicity

"Our study impressively shows how problematic it is to make generalised statements about the health or ecological effects of microplastics"

16-Dec-2021 - More and more studies worldwide are looking into the effects of microplastics, especially with regard to the environment and health. They often use spherical polystyrene microparticles and have arrived at partly contradictory results. An interdisciplinary research team at the University of ...
