Risk Assessment Strategies for Contaminants in Seafood (RASCS)
(Wiley, 2023-12-05)
Risk Assessment Strategies for Contaminants in Seafood (RASCS) is an EFSA Partnering Grant focusing on KEamong seven European Institutions. The project lasted from June 2021 to June 2023. The proposal ...
The roses ocean and human health chair: A new way to engage the public in oceans and human health challenges
(MDPI, 2020-07-14)
Involving and engaging stakeholders is crucial for studying and managing the complex interactions between marine ecosystems and human health and wellbeing. The Oceans and Human Health Chair was founded ...
Electrochemical biosensor for the dual detection of Gambierdiscus australes and Gambierdiscus excentricus in field samples. First report of G. excentricus in the Balearic Islands
(Elsevier, 2021-10-13)
Several genera of marine dinoflagellates are known to produce bioactive compounds that affect human health. Among them, Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa stand out for their ability to produce several toxins, ...
Supramolecular Complexes of Plant Neurotoxin Veratridine with Cyclodextrins and Their Antidote-like Effect on Neuro-2a Cell Viability
(MDPI, 2022-03-09)
Veratridine (VTD) is a plant neurotoxin that acts by blocking the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) of cell membranes. Symptoms of VTD intoxication include intense nausea, hypotension, arrhythmia, ...
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(MDPI, 2014-11-26)
The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ...
Biosensors Based on Isothermal DNA Amplification for Bacterial Detection in Food Safety and Environmental Monitoring
(MDPI, 2021-01-16)
The easy and rapid spread of bacterial contamination and the risk it poses to human health makes evident the need for analytical methods alternative to conventional time-consuming laboratory-based ...
Immobilisation of Neuro-2a cells on electrodes and electrochemical detection of MTT formazan crystals to assess their viability
(Elsevier, 2022-09-24)
Marine toxins are potent toxic compounds that may reach humans and poison them. Therefore, their detection in seafood is crucial to prevent intoxication cases. Colorimetric cell-based assays (CBAs) have ...
Detection of Ciguatoxins and Tetrodotoxins in Seafood with Biosensors and Other Smart Bioanalytical Systems
(MDPI, 2023-05-18)
The emergence of marine toxins such as ciguatoxins (CTXs) and tetrodotoxins (TTXs) in non-endemic regions may pose a serious food safety threat and public health concern if proper control measures are ...
Duplex electrochemical biosensor for the detection of the tdh and trh virulence genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters
(Elsevier, 2023-02-17)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterium present in estuarine environments. Since the first outbreak in Japan in 1950, it has been a dominant cause of foodborne infections throughout the world. Vibrio ...
Detection of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa single cells using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a sandwich hybridization assay
(Springer, 2021-04-10)
Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce several bioactive compounds including the potent neurotoxic ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are able to accumulate in fish and through ...
