Although a decades-old problem in food safety, aflatoxin has largely resisted human control methods. This situation could be mitigated using new technologies that could provide better control all along the food supply chain, for crops frequently infe...
Platelets play pivotal roles in thromboembolic diseases, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. In patients envenomed by the snake Vipera a. ammodytes (Vaa), pronounced and transient thrombocytopenia without bleeding is observed. We previ...
The remarkable success of Bacillus thuringiensis [Bt] in pest control worldwide resides not only on the extraordinary potency of its pesticidal proteins, but also on their narrow insect specificity, their safety for humans, and biodegradability [...]...
The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been used as a marker of inflammation, endothelial damage, and a predictor of mortality. Expanded hemodialysis (HDx) using medium cut-off dialyzer (MCO) can effectively clear medium-sized uremic toxins. This...
Steroidal sodium channel agonist batrachotoxin (BTX), one of the most potent animal toxins, dramatically increases calcium permeation and alters other channel characteristics. In a cryoEM structure of rat sodium channel Nav1.5 with two BTX-B molecule...
This study investigated bite force changes after botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection into different masticatory muscles. Thirty-five male participants were divided into three groups: masseter only (M), masseter and temporalis (MT), and masseter...
This study aimed to conduct a first evaluation of maternal exposure to mycotoxins during pregnancy in Brazil through quantification of biomarkers in liver and serum samples from stillborn and neonates autopsied in the Clinical Hospital of Ribeir&atil...
It is with great sadness that we must include in this Special Volume of Toxins a memorial to our close friend and colleague [...]
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and its metabolite aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) are stable and carcinogenic mycotoxins that are commonly found in dairy products, posing serious food safety concerns. However, conventional degradation methods face limited degradation effic...
Mycotoxins are ubiquitous and unavoidable contaminants in food and feed, posing significant health risks through toxicity syndromes collectively referred to as mycotoxicoses. With climate change enhancing the conditions favorable for fungal growth an...
