Applying Ensemble Ecological Niche Modeling to Identify High Risk Areas for Scorpions' Sting

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
In this study, we used ecological niche models to map the distribution of eight of the most dangerous scorpion species to quantify sting risk across Iran. We identified the areas where people are most vulnerable to scorpion stings based on exposure to scorpions and limited accessibility to healthcare centers.

Interrogating stonefish venom: small molecules present in envenomation caused by Synanceia spp.

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 399-414, March 2025.
Molecular analysis of Synanceia horrida (ShV) and S. verrucosa (SvV) venoms identified three small molecules new to stonefish venom: Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), choline, and 0‐acetylcholine. Analysis on human nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChRs) and GABAA receptors showed activation of neuronal (α7) and adult muscle‐type (α1β1δε) nAChRs by ShV, while ...

Targeting CD36 With EP 80317 Reduces Remote Inflammatory Response to Hind Limb Ischemia‐Reperfusion in Mice

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 38, Issue 12, December 2024.
Proposed mechanism by which CD36 participates in generation of ROS and activation of leukocytes in the circulation and microvascular endothelium of lung tissue after reperfusion of an ischemic limb. Treatment with EP 80317, the CD36 modulator, decreased remote leukocyte recruitment, lipid mediators, cytokines, and lung tissue damage.
