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.

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.

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background The escalating rise of multi–drug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial strains significantly threatens global health, creating a “silent pandemic” prompted by natural selection, gene mutation, and horizontal gene transfer. This crisis is worsened by the deficit in the development of new treatments, necessitating the innovative discovery of new potent ...

Animal Venoms as Peptide Libraries for the Discovery of Antiglioblastoma Agents
Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and widely recognized types of brain tumors, characterized by significant cellular and molecular diversity and an inherently aggressive nature. The treatment remains highly challenging, with limited effectiveness and persistently low survival rates.

Transcriptomic Insights Into the Evolution of Snake Venom: Mechanisms, Diversity, and Adaptation
Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Snake venoms are evolutionarily refined biochemical arsenals composed of diverse toxins with complex functional roles in predation, defense, and competition. Over the past 2 decades, transcriptomic approaches have transformed venom research by enabling high‐resolution insights into gene expression dynamics, molecular diversity, and the evolutionary ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.

Acta Zoologica, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 539-550, October 2024.Abstract Capturing data on the life of fossorial vertebrates is difficult since access to the subterranean environment is made unfeasible by its density and opacity. Collecting specimens is only possible through excavation work, causing damage or even death to the specimens.
