Article Synopsis
- Aflatoxin B (AFB) and fumonisin B (FB) are harmful mycotoxins found in cereals that can increase the risk of liver cancer, yet their combined effects have not been extensively researched.
- This study investigated how different concentrations of AFB and FB, as well as their mixtures, impact the differentiation of immune cells in mouse spleen, focusing on regulatory T cells (Treg) and Th17 cells, and the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) in this process.
- The results showed that AFB and AFB-FB mixtures influence immune cell differentiation and immunotoxicity through Ahr signaling, potentially enhancing the risk of immune suppression and contributing to tumor growth evasion when these
apical growing protonemal cells have the singularity that they continue to undergo cell divisions as the plant develops. This feature provides a valuable tool to study autophagy in the context of a multicellular apical growing tissue coupled to development. Herein, we showed that the core autophagy machinery is present in the moss , and characterized the 2D and 3D growth and development of and loss-of-function mutants under optimal and nutrient-deprived conditions.

- This article talks about a special fluorescent dye called ACDAN that helps scientists study how water moves in and around cells and tissues.
- ACDAN is very good at mixing with water, making it different from another dye called LAURDAN that works better in oily environments.
- The article explains how ACDAN works, why understanding water movement is important for studying cells, and shares cool examples from plants that show what scientists can discover using this dye.
Smut fungi, such as , have been studied extensively as a model for plant-pathogenic basidiomycetes. However, little attention has been paid to smut diseases of agronomic importance that are caused by species of the genus , probably due to their more localized distribution. Peanut smut incited by has been reported only in South America, and Argentina is the only country where this disease has been noted in commercial peanut production.
