A Rapid and Sensitive Method to Measure the Functional Activity of Shiga Toxins in Human Serum
Toxins, 2015 Shiga toxins (Stx) have a definite role in the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome in children with hemorrhagic colitis caused by pathogenic Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains. The dramatic effects of these toxins on the microvasculature

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 440-449, 15 July 2026.What's new? While treatment strategies for solid brain metastases have been relatively uniform across cancer subtypes, tailored approaches are warranted. In this observational study, intracranial recurrences after microsurgical resection occurred significantly earlier and more frequently at distant sites in patients with triple‐negative breast cancer ...

Uncovering the Complex Transcriptome Response of Mytilus chilensis against Saxitoxin: Implications of Harmful Algal Blooms on Mussel Populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Saxitoxin (STX), a principal phycotoxin contributing to paralytic shellfish poisoning, is largely produced by marine microalgae of the genus Alexandrium. This toxin affects a wide range of species, inducing massive deaths in fish and other marine species.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Background Accurate heterogeneity correction in high‐precision radiotherapy relies on precise computed tomography (CT) number‐to‐density conversion via the Hounsfield unit look‐up table (HLUT). While physical properties of tissue‐equivalent materials are generally assumed consistent with manufacturer specifications, an independent audit ...

Effects ofSaxitoxin (STX) and Veratridine on BacterialNa + -K + Fluxes: a Prokaryote-BasedSTXBioassay [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent natural sodium channel blocker and represents a significant health concern worldwide. We describe here the antagonistic effects of STX and veratridine (VTD), an Na + channel activator, on three gram-negative bacteria and their application to an STX bioassay. STX reduced

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring
Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Neutralizing activity of anti-Stx IgY.
, 2013 (A) hpStx-1, (B) hpStx-2 and (C) hpStx-2A1B were mixed with serial dilutions of anti-Stx-1 IgY and anti-Stx-2 IgY, and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The mixture was subjected to the cytotoxicity assay.

Structure of the saxiphilin:saxitoxin (STX) complex reveals a convergent molecular recognition strategy for paralytic toxins [PDF]
, 2019 Dinoflagelates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX), a lethal bis-guanidinium neurotoxin causing paralytic shellfish poisoning. A number of metazoans have soluble STX-binding proteins that may prevent STX intoxication.
