Fungal contamination and mycotoxin production continue to challenge food safety, agricultural sustainability, and public health worldwide. The vast diversity of mycotoxins, their environmental resilience, and their toxicity demand robust, interdisciplinary solutions. Recently, innovative approaches have emerged, from biological detoxification to predictive AI modeling and structure-based inhibitor design. This editorial synthesizes findings from cutting-edge studies that offer a broad, integrative view of current progress and future potential.
