  13. [ASAP] Dual-Terminal Stemmed Aptamer Beacon for Label-Free Detection of Aflatoxin B1 in Broad Bean Paste and Peanut Oil via Aggregation-Induced Emission

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination ranks as one of the most critical food safety issues, and assays for its on-site monitoring are highly demanded. Herein, we propose a label-free, one-tube, homogeneous, and cheap AFB1 assay based on a finely tunable dual-terminal stemmed aptamer beacon (DS aptamer beacon) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects.

  19. [ASAP] Patulin Induces Autophagy-Dependent Apoptosis through Lysosomal-Mitochondrial Axis and Impaired Mitophagy in HepG2 Cells

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Patulin (PAT) is a compound produced by fungi including those of the Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Byssochlamys species. PAT has been linked with negative outcomes in certain microorganisms and animal species, but how it causes hepatotoxicity is poorly understood.

  20. Pectin or chitosan coating fortified with eugenol reduces Campylobacter jejuni on chicken wingettes and modulates expression of critical survival genes

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTCampylobacter jejuni infection in humans is strongly associated with the consumption of contaminated poultry products. With increasing consumer demand for minimally processed and natural product, there is a need for novel intervention strategies for controlling C. jejuni. Antimicrobial coatings are increasingly being used for preventing food contamination due to their efficacy and continuous protection of product.

  25. Rat Hepatitis E Virus as Cause of Persistent Hepatitis after Liver Transplant

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • All hepatitis E virus (HEV) variants reported to infect humans belong to the species Orthohepevirus A (HEV-A). The zoonotic potential of the species Orthohepevirus C (HEV-C), which circulates in rats and is highly divergent from HEV-A, is unknown. We report a liver transplant recipient with hepatitis caused by HEV-C infection. We detected HEV-C RNA in multiple clinical samples and HEV-C antigen in the liver.
