Scientists used computer modeling to map exactly how aflatoxin B1, a toxic mold byproduct that contaminates stored grains and nuts, damages kidney cells, pointing toward specific molecular targets for future treatments.
1
Network toxicology approach identified molecular targets and pathways linked to aflatoxin B1-induced kidney damage
2
Computational modeling was used to simulate and predict the toxin's mechanism of action on kidney tissue
3
Findings point to specific biological targets that could inform future protective or therapeutic strategies
