Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Phylogeny of Aspergillus section Circumdati and inhibition of ochratoxins potential by green synthesised ZnO nanoparticles

Mycology
Contamination of agricultural and industrial products by Aspergillus section Circumdati becomes a true problem, especially, because a lot of species in this section can yield ochratoxins and other toxins. In this study, morphological criteria and partial

Electronic health records improve the diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary fungal infections in lung cancer patients

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Pulmonary fungal infections are life‐threatening complications in lung cancer patients, posing significant challenges in clinical management. To address this, we developed machine learning tools that translate routine electronic health record data into actionable insights for diagnosing infections and assessing prognosis.

Mycotoxins in plant‐based drinks (soy, almond and oat): the BfR updates its assessment of their health risks based on newly collected data

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Mycotoxins (mould toxins) are secondary metabolites of moulds. They are natural toxins whose occurrence in food and feed is undesirable but cannot be completely avoided. Mycotoxins may occur as contaminants in plant products and raw materials such as grains, nuts and almonds if they are infested with mould during cultivation, storage or ...

Real‐time quality and safety monitoring of fruit juice using paper‐based platform

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 140-162, March 2026.
Schematic illustration of a paper‐based biosensor for rapid detection of fruit juice spoilage. Abstract Food spoilage and safety concerns still remain critically challenging within the fruit juice industry, especially as conventional detection methods, though precise, are often too time‐consuming, costly, and reliant on centralized laboratories.

Sex‐Specific Renal Proteomic Responses to Mycotoxins and Their Mitigation by Bioactive Food Ingredients

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 4, 26 February 2026.
In vivo exposure to AFB1 and OTA markedly disrupts proteomic patterns in rats, with males showing heightened sensitivity. Fermented whey and pumpkin alleviated toxin‐induced molecular damage by decreasing differentially expressed proteins, demonstrating their potential to mitigate molecular disturbances and supporting their role as functional dietary ...
