RIKEN

Artistic rendering of the new plastic. Cross linked salt bridges visible in the plastic outside the seawater give it its structure and strength. In seawater (and in soil, not depicted), resalting destroys the bridges, prevending microplastic formation and allowing the plastic to become biodegradable.

When protein antigens are injected into the small intestine of wild-type mice, they are passed to dendritic cells in the Peyer's patches; similar experiments in M-cell-deficient mice result in fewer dendritic cells receiving the protein antigen.
