Synthesis of nodularin analogues as potential protein phosphatases inhibitors [PDF]
Reversible phosphorylation of proteins on serine, threonine and tyrosine residues, is now widely accepted to be the principal mechanism for the control of intracellular events in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

Toxicity at the Edge of Life: A Review on Cyanobacterial Toxins from Extreme Environments
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, of varied chemical nature and toxic effects. Although cyanobacteria thrive in all kinds of ecosystems on Earth even under very harsh conditions, current knowledge on cyanotoxin distribution

A 15-min non-competitive homogeneous assay for microcystin and nodularin based on time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) [PDF]
Simple and rapid methods are required for screening and analysis of water samples to detect cyanobacterial cyclic peptide hepatotoxins: microcystin/nodularin.

Impact of Environmental Factors on the Regulation of Cyanotoxin Production
Cyanobacteria are capable of thriving in almost all environments. Recent changes in climatic conditions due to increased human activities favor the occurrence and severity of harmful cyanobacterial bloom all over the world. Knowledge of the regulation of

Oral exposure to environmental cyanobacteria toxins: Implications for cancer risk
Background: Areca nut/betel quid (AN/BQ) chewing, a prevalent practice in parts of the Pacific and Asia, is an independent cause of cancers of the oral cavity and esophagus and may be linked to liver cancer.

Deposit-feeders accumulate the cyanobacterial toxin nodularin
Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria may potentially affect food web productivity and even be a human health hazard. In the Baltic Sea, regularly occurring summer blooms of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are often dominated by Nodularia spumigena, which produces
