An Electrochemical Ti3C2Tx Aptasensor for Sensitive and Label-Free Detection of Marine Biological Toxins

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Saxitoxin (STX) belongs to the family of marine biological toxins, which are major contaminants in seafood. The reference methods for STX detection are mouse bioassay and chromatographic analysis, which are time-consuming, high costs, and requirement of ...

Optimizing a long‐term monitoring strategy to track emerging cyanobacterial blooms in a Great Lakes estuary

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly frequent and severe globally. Recently, the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) has experienced numerous cHABs, but the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with them are unknown.

Tetrodotoxin and Its Analogues in the Pufferfish Arothron hispidus and A. nigropunctatus from the Solomon Islands: A Comparison of Their Toxin Profiles with the Same Species from Okinawa, Japan

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Pufferfish poisoning has not been well documented in the South Pacific, although fish and other seafood are sources of protein in these island nations. In this study, tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its analogues in each organ of the pufferfish Arothron hispidus ...

Microcystis Sp. Co-Producing Microcystin and Saxitoxin from Songkhla Lake Basin, Thailand

open access: yesToxins, 2021
The Songkhla Lake Basin (SLB) located in Southern Thailand, has been increasingly polluted by urban and industrial wastewater, while the lake water has been intensively used. Here, we aimed to investigate cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in the SLB.

Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1904-1921, August 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Survey of Tetrodotoxin in New Zealand Bivalve Molluscan Shellfish over a 16-Month Period

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a heat-stable neurotoxin typically associated with pufferfish intoxications. It has also been detected in shellfish from Japan, the United Kingdom, Greece, China, Italy, the Netherlands and New Zealand. A recent European Food Safety

Polarized Light Microscopy for Quantitative Assessment of Sarcomere‐Scale Structural Order in Cardiac Tissue

open access: yesJournal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Impact of cardiac and respiratory arrest on cardiac muscle tissue. Wistar rats were injected (on the left) either with cisatracurium to induce a respiratory arrest or lidocaine to induce a cardiac arrest (in the middle). Further, the pathophysiological changes developed and were assessed with linear polarization microscopy at 600–3000 nm wavelength ...

The Role of Heterocysts in Cyanotoxin Production during Nitrogen Limitation

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) can have impacts on human health, aquatic ecosystems, and the economy. Nutrient management is an important mitigation and even remediation strategy.

Cardiac remodeling and arrhythmia in a mouse model of Depdc5 haploinsufficiency

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 3738-3752, July 2026.
Abstract Objective Some ion channel genes linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) are also linked to cardiac arrhythmia, leading to the hypothesis that predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to the complex disease presentation of DEE and possibly to the mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.

Integrating scFv into xMAP Assays for the Detection of Marine Toxins

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Marine toxins, such as saxitoxin and domoic acid are associated with algae blooms and can bioaccumulate in shell fish which present both health and economic concerns.
