Characterization of allogeneic platelet gel from adult donor blood and umbilical cord blood activated with locally prepared cryoprecipitate and thrombin: A pilot exercise

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 543-554, March 2026.
Abstract Background Characterization of platelet gel (PG) from different blood sources and preparation methods remains incomplete. Study Design and Methods This study compared the weight, growth factor (GF) content, and gelation dynamics (via rotational thromboelastometry, ROTEM) of allogeneic PG prepared from adult blood (AB) and cord blood (CB ...

Morphological traits and environmental preferences of the Blunt‐headed tree snake Imantodes cenchoa: the effects of sex and ontogeny

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.

Role of the protein annexin A1 on the efficacy of anti-TNF treatment in a murine model of acute colitis [PDF]

, 2016
TNF-α is involved in the mechanisms that initiate inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Anti-TNF-α drugs, such as infliximab (IFX), cause non-responsiveness and side effects, indicating the need to investigate alternative therapies for these diseases.

Antitumoral Activity of Snake Venom Proteins: New Trends in Cancer Therapy

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
For more than half a century, cytotoxic agents have been investigated as a possible treatment for cancer. Research on animal venoms has revealed their high toxicity on tissues and cell cultures, both normal and tumoral. Snake venoms show the highest cytotoxic potential, since ophidian accidents cause a large amount of tissue damage, suggesting a ...

Effects of batroxobin on the antithrombotic system in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis: Clues to mechanisms

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.
