Scientists have revealed that a toxin found in the blood of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) damages the body's protective blood–brain barrier, likely contributing to the risk of stroke.

A new study shows that microplastics are making their way into our brains, and that their concentrations are rising.

Microplastics have been found in the brain, showing they can cross the blood-brain barrier, and the amounts of the tiny plastic bits inside our bodies appear to be increasing at a rate that reflects ...
