Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in Scutellaria baicalensis poses a serious threat to the safety of traditional Chinese medicinal products. In this study, a sensitive and reliable ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry...

Microcystin–LR (MC-LR) and phenanthrene (Phen), which commonly co-occur in eutrophic waters, have been extensively studied as individual contaminants, but their combined ecotoxicological effects on submerged macrophytes remain unclear. In this...

In this study, the RUSITEC system was used to study the regulation of rumen-derived Pseudomonas sp. PSC001 (PSC001) on the rumen environment contaminated by Zearalenone (ZEN). The rumen fluid of dairy cows was selected as the fermentation broth, and...

Shiga toxins (Stx), produced by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, preferentially attack renal tissue and frequently induce acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal failure. To prevent irreversible damage, the injured renal tissue, particularly renal...

Datura species have been recognized for their potent pharmacological properties, producing a diverse array of tropane and non-tropane alkaloids with significant clinical and toxicological relevance. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the bi...

This study investigated the occurrence of fungi and mycotoxins throughout the rice processing chain, from paddy rice to final white rice, in two rice varieties (variety I and variety II). A total of 75 fungal isolates were identified, belonging to th...

Widespread contamination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals and feed threatens global food safety. This study investigated the effects of Chlorogenic acid (CGA) and VX765 on DON-induced enterohepatic injury. A total of 48 female mice were divided int...

Phytopathogenic fungi represent a significant biotic stress affecting global agriculture, often causing severe diseases and, in some cases, leading to plant death. They have been isolated from economically important crops, including cereals, legumes,...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), caused by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum, are increasingly frequent in the Marlborough Sounds, an important aquaculture region in Aotearoa New Zealand. Alexandrium pacificum produces paralytic shellfish toxins a...

This study explores the direct effects of amphibian skin secretions on human cells involved in joint diseases, aiming to identify species with potential for inflammatory modulation. Secretions were obtained from sixteen species distributed across Bra...
