TL;DR
This review systematically examines nanoplastic–bacteria interactions, highlighting mechanisms such as oxidative stress induction, membrane perturbation, DNA damage, metabolic reprogramming, biofilm modulation, and enhanced horizontal gene transfer, which collectively reshape microbial structure and function.
A hypothesis-generating mechanistic framework in which MPs/NPs may influence cancer-related processes through the integration of environmental exposure, epithelial barrier disruption, immune dysregulation, and tumor microenvironment remodeling is proposed.

This narrative review systematically evaluates the intellectual trajectory of the micro/nanoplastics/NPs domain, emphasizing how the rapid desorption of drug payloads in simulated human gastrointestinal environments transforms ambient pollution into a hypothesized public health concern.

The historical paradigm shift from studying planktonic bacteria to understanding the protective extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix has fundamentally transformed environmental biotechnology. Once considered operational impediments, biofilms are now recognized as highly organized microbial consortia and essen...
Plastics are an integral part of modern society; however, their environmental persistence has led to widespread contamination, posing significant ecological and human health risks. Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) raise concerns because of their small size and ability to penetrate biological systems, leading...

The extensive buildup of plastic waste has become a significant environmental issue, especially due to the conversion of microplastics (MPs) into nanoplastics (NPs). In this review, we address the critical processes that lead to the fragmentation of MPs into NPs, including physical, chemical, and biological degradation...

Microplastics (MPs) are widely studied as marine contaminants, yet their ecological roles in microbial systems remain incompletely understood. Conventional toxicological frameworks, largely developed for multicellular organisms, emphasize acute stress and cellular damage but capture only a limited subset of microbial r...
