==Prions and nanoplastics==

Prion misfolding can be triggered by [[nanoplastics]]. They can cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with proteins. Nanoplastics are prone to interact with proteins, and this interaction fundamentally changes the crucial secondary structure of these biomolecules.

Prion misfolding can be triggered by [[nanoplastics]]. They can cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with proteins. Nanoplastics are prone to interact with proteins, and this interaction fundamentally changes the crucial secondary structure of these biomolecules. This combined with a tertiary misfolding causes [[PrP]]c to misfold into PrPSc, and cause a [[transmissible spongiform encephalopathy]] disease.
