Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxins frequently occur in fungi-contaminated human food and animal feed, which poses a serious threat to human and animal health. Exposure to mycotoxins can result in a series of toxicities, e.g., immunotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, mutagenicity, hepatotoxicity, etc. Therefore, prevention and control of mycotoxin toxicity are of high importance. Biological control has been proposed as a promising and sustainable strategy to reduce the toxicity of mycotoxins. Identification of the biological agents with alleviative effects of mycotoxin-induced toxicity and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms not only contribute to our understanding of mycotoxin molecular toxicology but also provide supports for the development of strategies against mycotoxin contaminations. The rapid development of molecular biotechnologies and bioinformatics has significantly boosted the research on the alleviation of mycotoxin-induced toxicity, which further promotes the applications of biological agents in reducing or eliminating mycotoxin-induced toxicity.
This Special Issue will publish studies focusing on the detection of biological agents such as plant extracts and small molecules that exhibit alleviative effects on mycotoxin toxicity and on the elucidation of molecular events involved in these biological processes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxins is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
