Mechanisms of Cisplatin Nephrotoxicity

Ronald Miller, Raghu Tadagavadi, Ganesan Ramesh et al. · 26 Oct 2010

Cisplatin is a widely used and highly effective cancer chemotherapeutic agent. One of the limiting side effects of cisplatin use is nephrotoxicity. Research over the past 10 years has uncovered many of the cellular mechanisms which underlie cisplatin-induced renal cell death. It has also become apparent that inflammation provoked by injury to renal epithelial cells…

Food Poisoning and Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxins

M. Ángeles Argudín, María Carmen Mendoza, M. Rosario Rodicio · 5 Jul 2010

Staphylococcus aureus produces a wide variety of toxins including staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs; SEA to SEE, SEG to SEI, SER to SET) with demonstrated emetic activity, and staphylococcal-like (SEl) proteins, which are not emetic in a primate model (SElL and SElQ) or have yet to be tested (SElJ, SElK, SElM to SElP, SElU, SElU2 and SElV).…

Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: An Overview of Their Biocidal Activity

Leopoldo Palma, Delia Muñoz, Colin Berry et al. · 11 Dec 2014

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium that synthesizes parasporal crystalline inclusions containing Cry and Cyt proteins, some of which are toxic against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes and human-cancer cells. These toxins have been successfully used as bioinsecticides against caterpillars, beetles, and flies, including mosquitoes and blackflies. Bt also synthesizes…

Global Mycotoxin Occurrence in Feed: A Ten-Year Survey

Christiane Gruber-Dorninger, Timothy Jenkins, Gerd Schatzmayr · 27 Jun 2019

Mycotoxins contaminating animal feed can exert toxic effects in animals and be transferred into animal products. Therefore, mycotoxin occurrence in feed should be monitored. To this end, we performed a large-scale global survey of mycotoxin contamination in feed and assessed regional differences and year-to-year variation of mycotoxin occurrence. Concentrations of aflatoxin B1, zearalenone, fumonisins, ochratoxin…

A Review and Database of Snake Venom Proteomes

Theo Tasoulis, Geoffrey K. Isbister · 18 Sep 2017

Advances in the last decade combining transcriptomics with established proteomics methods have made possible rapid identification and quantification of protein families in snake venoms. Although over 100 studies have been published, the value of this information is increased when it is collated, allowing rapid assimilation and evaluation of evolutionary trends, geographical variation, and possible medical…
