This project explores the interaction of plastic nanoparticles with biological membranes to understand their potential toxicity. It focuses on how common plastics affect membrane structure and function, which is crucial for assessing their impact on living organisms.
Every year, millions of tons of plastic litter are reversed into the oceans, washed up on the shores or piled in landfills.
There, plastics are degraded down to the micro and nano scale, and enter the food chain.
Plastic particles can transport toxic substances, but the effects of micro and nanoplastics themselves on living organisms is still largely unknown.Here we address a key step of this interaction: the interaction of nanoplastics with model biological membranes.
We propose a computational…
