NIH grant awarded to Emory University to study the impact of nanoplastics on gastrointestinal health and inflammation, focusing on molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
Description
This research investigates how nanoplastics, specifically bisphenol A-containing nanoplastics (BPA-NPs), disrupt gastrointestinal (GI) health, contributing to conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The study aims to identify molecular pathways and therapeutic targets to reduce nanoplastics-related health risks.
