Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Elucidating the Venom Diversity in Sri Lankan Spectacled Cobra (Naja naja) through De Novo Venom Gland Transcriptomics, Venom Proteomics and Toxicity Neutralization

Toxins, 2021
Inadequate effectiveness of Indian antivenoms in treating envenomation caused by the Spectacled Cobra/Indian Cobra (Naja naja) in Sri Lanka has been attributed to geographical variations in the venom composition. This study investigated the de novo venom-

Expression of Human Thrombomodulin Prevents Early Thrombocytopenia and Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Pig‐to‐Nonhuman Primate Orthotopic Liver Xenotransplantation

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Background Severe thrombocytopenia and coagulation dysregulation remain major barriers to survival in pig‐to‐primate liver xenotransplantation models. Methods Porcine livers with five genetic modifications (GTKO, CMAHKO, β4GalNT2KO, hCD55, and hTBM) were orthotopically transplanted into four Tibetan macaques under two conventional ...

TOXIC SYNERGY: The Precarious Grasp of Human‐Snake Entanglements in a Thai Venom Facility

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 30-56, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Venomous snakes offer unique insight into core topics of anthropological inquiry because they are both the cause of a disease, snakebite envenoming, and the source of the cure. At a Thai facility dedicated to venomous snake husbandry for the production of antivenom, the biological pharmaceutical used in the treatment of this disease, a team of

Stabilising the Integrity of Snake Venom mRNA Stored under Tropical Field Conditions Expands Research Horizons. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND Snake venoms contain many proteinaceous toxins that can cause severe pathology and mortality in snakebite victims. Interestingly, mRNA encoding such toxins can be recovered directly from venom, although yields are low and quality is unknown ...
