Recent Advances in Aptasensing Strategies for Monitoring Phycotoxins: Promising for Food Safety
Biosensors, 2022 Phycotoxins or marine toxins cause massive harm to humans, livestock, and pets. Current strategies based on ordinary methods are long time-wise and require expert operators, and are not reliable for on-site and real-time use.

Marine toxins and the cytoskeleton [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2008 One of the most striking features of marine toxins is that many of them produce diarrhea. This effect has been attributed to an effect on the cytoskeleton, with the consequent disorganization of the adherent cells on the intestinal cell barrier leading to an excess of liquid.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Toxins Produced by Marine Dinoflagellates: An Issue to Explore
Marine Drugs, 2022 This paper examined the toxins naturally produced by marine dinoflagellates and their effects on increases in β-amyloid plaques along with tau protein hyperphosphorylation, both major drivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This approach is in line with the

Illnesses Caused by Marine Toxins [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2005 Marine toxins are produced by algae or bacteria and are concentrated in contaminated seafood. Substantial increases in seafood consumption in recent years, together with globalization of the seafood trade, have increased potential exposure to these agents. Marine toxins produce neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular syndromes, some of which

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater
ToxinsCyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a natural phenomenon produced mainly by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic events. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of cyanotoxins that can have harmful effects on different ...
