Radiation triggers the cell death events through signaling proteins, but the combined mechanism of events is unexplored. We intend to investigate how the combined cascade works throughout the radiation process and its significance over radiotoxicity. Thirty adult mice were irradiated with electron beam radiation, and five were served as a control (Non treated). Mice were sacrificed after post 24 hours and 30 days of irradiation. We assessed the oxidative stress parameter and mRNA profile (Liver, Kidney, spleen, and germ cells), sperm viability, and motility. The mRNA profile study established the network of combined cascade work during radiation to combat oxidative response and cell survival. The quantitative examination of mRNA uncovers unique critical changes in all mRNA levels in all the cases, particularly in germ cells. Recuperation was likewise seen in post 30 days radiation in the liver, spleen, and kidney followed by oxidative stress parameters, however not in germ cells. It proposes reproductive physiology is exceptionally sensitive towards radiation, even at the molecular level. It also suggests the suppression of Lef1/axin2 could be the main reason for permanent failure in the sperm function process. Post irradiation likewise influences the morphology of sperms. The decrease in mRNA level of Lef1, Axin2, survivin, Ku70 suggests radiation inhibits the Wnt canonical pathway and failure in DNA repair mechanism in a coupled manner. Likewise, the increase in BAX and BCL2 suggests apoptosis activation followed by the decreased expression of enzymatic antioxidants. In summary, controlled several interlinked cascades execute when body exposure to radiation may further be used in a study to counterpart and better comprehend medication focus on radiation treatment.

Mycotoxins cause adverse effects on human health. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to confront them, particularly in agriculture and food systems. Non-thermal plasma, electron beam radiation, and pulsed light are possible novel non-thermal technologies offering promising results in degrading mycotoxins with potential for practical applications. In this paper, the available publications are reviewed—some of them report efficiency of more than 90%, sometimes almost 100%. The mechanisms of action, advantages, efficacy, limitations, and undesirable effects are reviewed and discussed. The first foretastes of plasma and electron beam application in the industry are in the developing stages, while pulsed light has not been employed in large-scale application yet.
