Autologous platelet‐rich plasma for healing chronic venous leg ulcers: Clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms

International Wound Journal, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 788-792, June 2019., 2019
The overall quality of evidence of autologous platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) for treating chronic wounds remains low. While further well‐designed clinical studies are clearly required to convincingly demonstrate the efficacy of autologous PRP in improved healing of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and other chronic wounds, there is also an increasing need to ...

Combined Neuroprotective Effects of N,N‐Dimethyltryptamine and Ventral Root Reimplantation Following Spinal Root Avulsion in Rats

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 2, February 2026.
The ventral root avulsion (VRA) model provides an excellent experimental paradigm for studying injuries at the Central/Peripheral Nervous Systems (CNS/PNS) interface. By physically disconnecting motoneurons (MNs) from the spinal cord surface, VRA induces profound cellular, molecular, and functional deficits with limited spontaneous recovery.

Clinical, Laboratory, and Therapeutic Aspects of Crotalus durissus (South American Rattlesnake) Victims: A Literature Review

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected public health issue in many tropical and subtropical countries. To diagnosis and treat snakebites may be challenging to health care personnel since sufficient information has not been yet provided. This review presents the clinical, therapeutic, and laboratory aspects of Crotalus durissus (South American rattlesnakes)

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.

Crotalus durissus ruruima Snake Venom and a Phospholipase A2 Isolated from This Venom Elicit Macrophages to Form Lipid Droplets and Synthesize Inflammatory Lipid Mediators

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Viper snake Crotalus durissus ruruima (Cdr) is a subspecies found in northern area of Brazil. Among the snakes of Crotalus genus subspecies, the venom of Cdr presents highest level of crotoxin, which is the major component of Crotalus snake venoms, formed by two subunits (crotapotin and a phospholipase A2 named CBr) and presents potent neurotoxic ...
