Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 41-51, January 2026.Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

Comparative Hemostatic Effects of Bothrops spp. and Daboia russelii Venoms
Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Venoms from Bothrops species and Daboia russelii are among the leading causes of venom‐induced coagulopathy and snakebite‐related deaths. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the biochemical composition and hemostatic effects of venoms from seven Bothrops species and D. russelii using protein profiling and functional coagulation assays.

A procedure using low‐cost reagents to prepare allogeneic platelet gel from standard platelet units
Vox Sanguinis, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 513-516, May 2025.Abstract Background and Objectives Highly effective procedures for the preparation of allogeneic platelet gel (PG) use Ca‐gluconate and batroxobin, an expensive commercial reagent. In this preliminary study, we explored the use of the plasmin‐inhibitor, low‐cost drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in place of batroxobin, based on the literature supporting TXA ...

Prey specificity of predatory venoms
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.Batroxobin can inhibit platelet aggregation, degrade insoluble fibrinogen, dissolve soluble fibrin, and prolong TT and APTT which makes it play a stable role in the effective treatment of CVT. Batroxobin can slow down the changes in coagulation indicators, which makes it not increase the risk of adverse events, especially bleeding.
