Oral Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of Heteroctenus junceus Scorpion Venom

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The Heteroctenus junceus scorpion venom is a very popular natural extract used in traditional medicine in Cuba. In clinically relevant experimental settings, scorpion venom does not induce general toxicity or an increase in the frequency of micronucleus formation in erythrocytes.

Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom Induces Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer Cell Lines

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Cervical cancer (CC) is classified as the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide and remains a serious public health problem in many underdeveloped countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly types 16 and 18, has been established as a precursory etiologic agent for this type of cancer.

A multigene approach to identify the scorpion species (Arachnida: Scorpiones) of Colima, Mexico, with comments on their venom diversity

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
Scorpion species diversity in Colima was investigated with a multigene approach. Fieldwork produced 34 lots of scorpions that were analyzed with 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA, COI, and 28S rDNA genetic markers.

Animal Venom Pharmacological Resources: Exploiting Bioactive Peptides to Target Multi–Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

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 ...

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

Inhibition of cGMP‐Signalling Rescues Retinal Ganglion Cells From Axotomy‐Induced Degeneration

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 4, April 2025.
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are myelinated only beyond the lamina cribrosa, that is, when leaving the eye. Axotomy‐induced RGC degeneration is likely to be related to excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to an over‐production of cGMP, over‐activation of protein kinase G (PKG) and excessive phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ...
