Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Potential of Different Ecotypes of Anatolian Honeybee (Apis Mellifera L.) Venoms on Various Cancer Cells

Journal of Apicultural Science
Honeybees play a crucial ecological and economic role by pollinating both natural ecosystems and cultivated crops. Beyond this, they produce such valuable natural products as honey, propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, beeswax, and bee venom, which have ...

A common venomous ancestor? Prevalent bee venom genes evolved before the aculeate stinger while few major toxins are bee-specific

, 2022
Venoms, which have evolved numerous times in animals, are ideal models of convergent trait evolution. However, detailed genomic studies of toxin-encoding genes exist for only a few animal groups.

The Electrochemical and Statistical Evaluation of Isolation of Mellitin and Apamin from Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) Venom

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2015
We present in this manuscript for the first time the electrochemical and statistical evaluation of FPLC isolation of mellitin and apamin from honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom. Venoms are extremely complex blends of diverse substances that target a myriad

Novel in vitro assays for assessing the haemorrhagic activity of snake venoms and for demonstration of venom metalloproteinase inhibitors

, 2001
Standard methods used for assessing the haemorrhagic toxicity of snake venoms and the effectiveness of antivenoms are laborious, expensive and involve the use of large numbers of laboratory animals.

Potential therapeutic biomolecules of hymenopteran venom against SARS-CoV-2 from Egyptian patients

Scientific Reports
The therapeutic potential of insect-derived bioactive molecules as anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents has shown promising results. Hymenopteran venoms, notably from Apis mellifera (honeybee) and Vespa orientalis (oriental wasp), were examined for the first time in ...

Bee Venom Phospholipase A2: Yesterday’s Enemy Becomes Today’s Friend

, 2016
Bee venom therapy has been used to treat immune-related diseases such as arthritis for a long time. Recently, it has revealed that group III secretory phospholipase A2 from bee venom (bee venom group III sPLA2) has in vitro and in vivo immunomodulatory ...

Insect Body Defence Reactions against Bee Venom: Do Adipokinetic Hormones Play a Role?

, 2021
Bees originally developed their stinging apparatus and venom against members of their own species from other hives or against predatory insects. Nevertheless, the biological and biochemical response of arthropods to bee venom is not well studied.

A patient suffered a second myocardial infarction after a bee sting: a case report

Journal of International Medical Research
A few cases have shown that bee stings can be linked to coronary stent thrombosis. However, instances of recurrent myocardial infarction resulting from bee stings among patients who have successfully undergone revascularization treatment are rare.
