Climate Change and Aflatoxin B1 in Agriculture Products: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Climate change mainly involves increasing temperatures and concentrations of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. These changes increase the expression of genes for mycotoxin synthesis, including aflatoxin B1, in fungi. These stressors also lead to reduced plant defenses against fungal infections.

Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis for Designing Optimal Aflatoxin Monitoring Schemes in the Dairy Supply Chain [PDF]
ABSTRACT Designing effective food safety monitoring schemes is a complex task involving multiple, often conflicting, criteria. This study applied Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to evaluate and identify optimal aflatoxin monitoring schemes along a Dutch dairy supply chain—a critical context where aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in feed can ...

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...
