Is qPCR a Reliable Indicator of Cyanotoxin Risk in Freshwater?

open access: yesToxins, 2016
The wide distribution of cyanobacteria in aquatic environments leads to the risk of water contamination by cyanotoxins, which generate environmental and public health issues.

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Immunomodulatory Effects of Cylindrospermopsin in Human T Cells and Monocytes

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanotoxin with an increasing occurrence, and therefore it is important to elucidate its toxicity profile. CYN has been classified as a cytotoxin, although the scientific literature has already revealed that it affects a ...

Cylindrospermopsin: A Decade of Progress on Bioaccumulation Research [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2010
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is rapidly being recognised as one of the most globally important of the freshwater algal toxins. The ever-expanding distribution of CYN producers into temperate zones is heightening concern that this toxin will represent serious human, as well as environmental, health risks across many countries.

Occurrence of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin in northeast Germany [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, 2007
AbstractThe frequent occurrence of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) in the (sub)tropics has been largely associated with cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales of tropical origin, in particular Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. C. raciborskii is currently observed to spread northwards into temperate climatic zones.

Multimodal Cross‐Attentive Graph‐Based Framework for Predicting In Vivo Endocrine Disruptors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 21, 13 April 2026.
A multimodal cross‐attentive graph neural network integrates molecular graphs with androgen and estrogen adverse outcome pathway (AOP)–anchored in vitro assay signals to predict in vivo endocrine disruption. By fusing information on Tier‐1 AOP logits with chemical structures, the framework achieves high accuracy and provides assay‐traceable ...

Statewide Intensification of Harmful Algal Blooms Across California Lakes and Reservoirs

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Monitoring cyanobacteria is crucial for assessing water quality, safeguarding public health, and understanding ecosystem dynamics impacted by harmful algal blooms. This study explores the potential of satellite remote sensing (SRS) to assess risks of cyanotoxin exposure in California's recreational waters from 2002 to 2011 and 2016 to 2023 ...

Analysis of the Use of Cylindrospermopsin and/or Microcystin-Contaminated Water in the Growth, Mineral Content, and Contamination of Spinacia oleracea and Lactuca sativa

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins constitute a serious environmental and human health problem. Moreover, concerns are raised with the use of contaminated water in agriculture and vegetable production as this can lead to food contamination and human exposure ...

Characterization of the Gene Cluster Responsible for Cylindrospermopsin Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACTToxic cyanobacterial blooms cause economic losses and pose significant public health threats on a global scale. Characterization of the gene cluster for the biosynthesis of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (cyr) inCylindrospermopsis raciborskiiAWT205 is described, and the complete biosynthetic pathway is proposed.
