Key Points

The aim is to analyze how nanoplastics affect critical neurovascular cells in the brain and to identify the size that maximizes their harmful impacts.
Examined effects of various sizes of polystyrene nanoplastics on microvascular cerebral endothelial and neuronal cells.
Determined cytotoxicity levels to assess brain health impacts.
Nanoplastics demonstrated significant cytotoxicity on microvascular cerebral endothelial cells and neuronal cells.
The study identified specific sizes at which nanoplastics were most harmful, emphasizing their potential threat to brain health.

Implication

Examines nanoplastics' impact on neurovascular cells, indicating potential brain harm.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of nanoplastics on microvascular cerebral endothelial cells and neuronal cells, and determine the size at which nanoplastics exhibit the most harmful effects on cells critical to brain health.
