Cyanobacteria are well recognised as producers of a wide range of natural compounds that
are in turn recognised as toxins that have potential and useful applications in the future as …

Mycotoxins frequently contaminate a variety of food items, posing significant concerns for
both food safety and public health. The adverse consequences linked to poisoning from …

The major weakness of the current in vitro genotoxicity test systems is the inability of the
indicator cells to express metabolic enzymes needed for the activation and detoxification of …

Freshwater prokaryotic cyanobacteria within harmful algal blooms produce cyanotoxins
which are considered major pollutants in the aquatic system. Direct exposure to cyanotoxins …

In genetic toxicology, there is a trend against the increased use of in vivo models as
highlighted by the 3R strategy, thus encouraging the development and implementation of …

Cyanobacteria are highly prevalent blue-green algae that grow in stagnant and nutrient-rich
water bodies. Environmental conditions, such as eutrophication and human activities …

Cyanotoxins (CTs) are a large and diverse group of toxins produced by the peculiar
