Tracks nanoplastics in pregnant mice, revealing biodistribution at the maternal-fetal interface.
Polystyrene Nanoplastics This cover illustrates the transformation of everyday plastic waste into nanoplastics capable of entering the maternal body during pregnancy. Using [14C]polystyrene as a traceable signal, the study reveals the otherwise invisible biodistribution of nanoplastics in pregnant mice and highlights their presence at the maternal–fetal interface. More details can be found in the Research Article by Olga Khaybullina, Pallavi Sarkhel, and Outi M. Keinänen (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202523995).
