Sub-Acute Feeding Study of Saxitoxin to Mice Confirms the Effectiveness of Current Regulatory Limits for Paralytic Shellfish Toxins

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Regulatory limits for shellfish toxins are required to protect human health. Often these limits are set using only acute toxicity data, which is significant, as in some communities, shellfish makes up a large proportion of their daily diet and can be ...

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 636-659, September 2025.
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Copepod Prey Selection and Grazing Efficiency Mediated by Chemical and Morphological Defensive Traits of Cyanobacteria

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Phytoplankton anti-grazer traits control zooplankton grazing and are associated with harmful blooms. Yet, how morphological versus chemical phytoplankton defenses regulate zooplankton grazing is poorly understood. We compared zooplankton grazing and prey

Die Chemie und Biologie der Tetrodotoxin Naturstofffamilie

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 35, August 25, 2025.
Tetrodotoxin ist vor allem als das Gift des Kugelfisches bekannt, einer Delikatesse in der japanischen Küche. Seine Toxizität beruht auf der selektiven Blockade von NaV Kanälen, wie am Beispiel der NaV1.7 Pore dargestellt, wobei das DEKA Motiv hervorgehoben ist, das für die Durchlässigkeit von Natriumionen verantwortlich ist.

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 35, August 25, 2025.
Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

The Acute Toxicity of Tetrodotoxin and Tetrodotoxin–Saxitoxin Mixtures to Mice by Various Routes of Administration

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin associated with human poisonings through the consumption of pufferfish. More recently, TTX has been identified in bivalve molluscs from diverse geographical environments, including Europe, and is therefore ...

Phylogenomic and Pangenomic Assessment of a Mediterranean Strain of Raphidiopsis raciborskii Extends Knowledge of the Global Distribution and Characteristics of a Potentially Toxigenic Cyanobacterium

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
The potentially toxigenic cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii has spread to temperate regions and produces massive blooms. This study reports the first taxonomic and functional metagenomic assessment of a strain from the Mediterranean, thus filling a significant gap in global distribution.

Second-harmonic microscopy of unstained living cardiac myocytes: measurements of sarcomere length with 20-nm accuracy.

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceWe extend second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy to the measurement of sarcomere length in unstained living cardiac myocytes with 20-nm accuracy. We quantify individual sarcomere shortening in the presence of saxitoxin and find

Presynaptic initiation by action potentials of retrograde signals in developing neurons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Until recently, the only means by which electrical activity was believed to initiate retrograde signals was via postsynaptic events: modulated synthesis or release of trophic factors.
