A review study conducted by Brazilian researchers found growing evidence that microplastics can reach and build up in human bone tissue, potentially disrupting bone metabolism. Lab and animal studies ...
Microplastics have been detected in human blood, brain tissue, and even bones, where they may weaken skeletal structure and accelerate cell aging. Recent studies suggest that these particles could ...
A fully developed adult human will typically have 206 bones in their body. These bones work well together and provide the rigid, yet mobile, structure that your body needs to perform everyday tasks.
Researchers reviewed more than 60 studies and found evidence that plastic particles can reach bone tissue, disrupt cell function, and may interfere with skeletal growth. Stacey Leasca is an ...
