Differences between Two Groups of Burmese Vipers (Viperidae: Azemiops) in the Proteomic Profiles, Immunoreactivity and Biochemical Functions of Their Venoms

, 2022
Two recently revised Azemiops snakes with apparent differences in their external appearances and skeletal morphologies but unclear genetic boundaries have been proposed. Some researchers have refrained from using the newly proposed taxonomy because these

Assessing the Proteomic Activity of the Venom of the Ant Ectatomma tuberculatum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ectatomminae)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2018
Ectatomma tuberculatum has one of the most toxic venoms known among ants but there is no detailed study on its characteristics. In light of this, knowing the venom’s chemical composition is of paramount importance in order to obtain information about the

Shear‐Mode Direct Piezoelectric Response of Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Periodic shear‐induced electric current measurements are reported on two archetypic ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal compounds. From the temperature, frequency and shear angle dependent results of the first and second harmonic current signals together with temperature and oscillatory rheology measurements, the effective piezoelectric coupling ...

Multilevel comparison of Indian Naja venoms and their cross-reactivity with Indian polyvalent antivenoms [PDF]

, 2023
Snake envenoming is caused by many biological species, rather than a single infectious agent, each with a multiplicity of toxins in their venom. Hence, developing effective treatments is challenging, especially in biodiverse and biogeographically complex

Samsum ant venom modulates the immune response and redox status at the acute toxic dose in vivo [PDF]

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases
Background: Ant venoms express surface molecules that participate in antigen presentation involving pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. This work aims to investigate the expression of MHC-II, CD80 and CD86 on the polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) in rats

Differential effects of marimastat and prinomastat on the metalloprotease activity of various snake venoms [PDF]

Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease, responsible for approximately 140,000 deaths globally each year. Vipers and elapid snakes represent the most significant snake families in medical contexts, exhibiting a variety of venom components ...

Antifungal In Vitro Activity of Pilosulin- and Ponericin-Like Peptides from the Giant Ant Dinoponera quadriceps and Synergistic Effects with Antimycotic Drugs

Antibiotics, 2020
Venoms from ants comprise a rich source of bioactive peptides, including antimicrobial peptides. From the proteome and peptidome of the giant ant Dinoponera quadriceps venom, members of five known classes of antimicrobial peptides were disclosed (e.g ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Venomous secretions from marine snails of the Terebridae family target acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

, 2013
Venoms from cone snails (Conidae) have been extensively studied during the last decades, but those from other members of the suborder Toxoglossa, such as of Terebridae and Turridae superfamilies attracted less interest so far. Here, we report the effects
