Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.A fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...

Breaking Boundaries: First Observation of Intertidal Emergence During Mating in Octopuses
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We document the first recorded case of intertidal emergence during copulation in Callistoctopus macropus. A mating pair gradually moved from shallow water onto the rocky shore while remaining attached, with the female resisting and the male counter‐anchoring for nearly 20 min before re‐submerging.

Snakebite injuries in Hong Kong: A 10‐year review
Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a priority neglected tropical disease according to the World Health Organization. To address the issue, enhanced epidemiological evidence in endemic countries and an improved availability of snake antivenoms were proposed. Objectives To understand the local epidemiology of snakebite cases, promote awareness
