MDMA’s potential extends to patients with multiple or treatment-resistant disorders, […]
Nanoplastic Ingestion Causes Neurological Deficits
Microplastics, or plastic particulates measuring less than five micrometers, are a growing environmental concern. These particulates disrupt reproduction, immune cell and microbiome composition in the gut, and neural and endocrine function in aquatic species and laboratory animals. Now, a new study published in Cell Reports suggests that the smaller the plastic, the greater the problem. According to Chao […]
