Detection of αB-Conotoxin VxXXIVA (αB-CTX) by ic-ELISA Based on an Epitope-Specific Monoclonal Antibody

Toxins, 2022
In view of the toxicological hazard and important applications in analgesics and cancer chemotherapeutics of αB-CTX, it is urgent to develop an accurate, effective and feasible immunoassay for the determination and analysis of αB-CTX in real samples.

bZIP transcription factor AflHapX coordinates iron homeostasis and aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus

Mycology
Iron homeostasis and secondary metabolism are controlled by the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor HapX in many fungi. In this study, AflHapX was identified through homology research of the Aspergillus flavus genome with the bZIP protein ...

Mycotoxin Co-Occurrence in Michigan Harvested Maize Grain

Toxins, 2022
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that, depending on the type and exposure levels, can be a threat to human and animal health. When multiple mycotoxins occur together, their risk effects on human and animal health can be additive or ...

The MoSR‐MoDde1 Regulatory Axis: A Novel Determinant of DMI Sensitivity and a Target for Sustainable Rice Blast Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The transcription factor MoSR governs DMI fungicide sensitivity in Magnaporthe oryzae through dual regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis and the detoxification enzyme MoDde1. Targeting MoDde1 via a small‐molecule inhibitor or host‐induced gene silencing enhances DMI efficacy against rice blast, offering a sustainable disease management strategy ...

Compound Abrus cantoniensis Extract Alleviates AFB1‐Induced Liver Injury by Regulating PI3K‐AKT Pathway and Gut Microbiota/Butyrate Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ACCE has a good alleviating effect on AFB1‐induced liver injury, and this alleviating effect is related to the PI3K‐AKT pathway regulated by ACCE and the butyrate metabolism of gut microbiota. ABSTRACT Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent hepatotoxin commonly ingested through contaminated food. Abrus cantoniensis Hance, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb,

Carcinogenic Mycotoxins*

, 2010
Mycotoxins are metabolites of molds considered to be a major risk factor affecting human and animal health. It is estimated that 25% of the world’s crop production is contaminated with mycotoxins. Mold contamination occurs extensively in fields and is particularly severe in tropical countries.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Uncovering Social Implications of Circular Strategies in the Wine Industry: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The wine industry is increasingly adopting circular economy (CE) strategies to reduce resource intensity, valorise residues and create economic opportunities. Yet, the social dimension of sustainability remains largely overlooked, limiting the understanding of CE's full impact.
