A new study has linked the presence of microplastics in artery-clogging plaque to a higher risk of heart disease and even death. Until now, that is. Published this week in The New England Journal of ...

Plastic pollution has moved from oceans and beaches into the most intimate corners of the human body. Tiny fragments of plastic are now being detected inside the arteries that feed the heart and brain ...

Researchers found that patients with microplastics in their arterial plaque were 4.5 times more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die within three years. A 2025 study published in the New ...

Microplastics are everywhere – even in the fatty deposits called plaque that can build up in the arteries and cause heart disease and strokes. Now researchers in Italy have found that in people with ...

Arteries are blood vessels. Most carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various organs and tissues. Arteries are a part of the circulatory system, along with the heart and other blood vessels. The ...

Coronary arteries are a vital part of the human heart, providing it with oxygen-rich blood so that it can work. By comparing the hearts of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and frogs, a ...

There is a pressing need to develop methods to engineer small‐calibre arteries for bypass surgery. We hypothesized that the rate‐limiting step that has thwarted previous attempts to engineer such ...

Arteries are blood vessels that convey oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and supply it to different parts of the body. The dorsal metatarsal arteries are part of the arterial pathway that supplies ...
