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
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,

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
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
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.

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 ...

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