The Cytotoxicity of Aflatoxin B1 in Human Lymphocytes
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a naturally occurring carcinogenic and immunosuppressive compound. This study was designed to measure its toxic effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).The study recruited 7 healthy volunteers. PBMC were isolated and cellular respiration was monitored using a phosphorescence oxygen analyser.

A Review on Heat Stress in Broiler Chickens: Mechanisms, Effects and Mitigation Strategies
Heat stress caused by high temperature and humidity compromises broiler health, welfare, and productivity by reducing feed intake, growth performance, and feed efficiency, while increasing mortality, oxidative stress, metabolic disturbances, intestinal dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, immune suppression, and meat quality deterioration.

Early detection of the aflatoxin B1 mutational fingerprint: A diagnostic tool for liver cancer
Using duplex-consensus sequencing technology, we recently identified the characteristic high-resolution mutational spectrum of the liver carcinogen aflatoxin B1 in a mouse model, many months before aflatoxin-induced tumors are detectable.

DNA‐peptide cross‐links (DpCs) are ubiquitous DNA lesions that form when cellular proteins become covalently trapped on DNA strands and are processed by proteases. DpCs are hypothesized to play a role in antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs and to contribute to aging.
