A remarkable feature of filamentous fungi is their ability to produce small yet structurally complex and often bioactive natural products. In this mini-review, we cover advances in the research on fungal secondary metabolites, particularly mycotoxins, and focus on biosynthetic aspects as well as on the complex regulatory mechanisms which control the expression of biosynthetic genes. We also highlight the increasing impact of genomics and transcriptomics, which help explore the realm of secondary metabolism of fungi.

Acute pericarditis, the predominant pericardial disease, often lacks a clear etiology, with 15-30% of patients experiencing recurrence, rising to 20-50% in those with prior relapses. Autoimmune mechanisms significantly contribute to recurrence, with interleukin-1 identified as a pivotal inflammatory mediator. While NSAIDs, colchicine, and steroids remain staples for acute cases, the spotlight in recurrent pericarditis management has shifted toward immunosuppressive medications.
