The cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin binds to proteins and increases the fitness of microcystis under oxidative stress conditions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Microcystins are cyanobacterial toxins that represent a serious threat to drinking water and recreational lakes worldwide. Here, we show that microcystin fulfils an important function within cells of its natural producer Microcystis.

Toll-like receptor 4 mediates synergism between alcohol and HCV in hepatic oncogenesis involving stem cell marker Nanog [PDF]
, 2009 Alcohol synergistically enhances the progression of liver disease and the risk for liver cancer caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, the molecular mechanism of this synergy remains unclear.

Hepatotoxic slimming aids and other herbal hepatotoxins
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008 AbstractPerceptions of safety and/or cultural mores prompt individuals to seek herbal slimming aids in preference to conventional dietary, physical activity and medication‐based protocols. In recent years, terpenoid‐containing dietary supplements have been implicated in causing severe and sometimes fatal hepatotoxicity.

Cyanotoxins: methods and approaches for their analysis and detection [PDF]
, 2017 Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic prokaryota especially found in freshwater. In favourable conditions (i.e. high nutrient levels, light intensity, water temperature), cyanobacteria can form blooms,
