Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exposure to mycotoxins contaminating food and feed as well as indoor environments can cause serious adverse effects in humans and animals. Owing to variations in cell physiology, the toxicity of mycotoxins is highly dependent on the organs and, more specifically, the types of cell encountered. Precision toxicology, built upon isolation of small groups of cells or even single cells, is a new concept to probe subtle intracellular changes in response to xenobiotics. It is of great interest to assess the toxicity of mycotoxins. Cell culture testing as well as single cell analysis provide useful tools to determine the toxicity of mycotoxins, to delineate their mechanism of action, and to characterize target pathways. They can also be used to identify solutions to control or relieve the toxicological effects of these toxins. Moreover, these in vitro approaches can be valuable tools for the screening of interactive potential in the mycotoxin and/or conjugated form mixtures that humans and animals are exposed to.
This Special Issue of Toxins will present recent studies on the toxicity of mycotoxins on targeted human and animal cells, and the associated mechanisms. Therefore, papers dealing with new cellular or/and multicellular systems as well as mycotoxin interactions effects are welcome. Papers considering -omics or descriptive approaches to understand mechanisms are invited. Both research papers and review articles proposing novelties or overviews, respectively, are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxins is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
