From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

First chemical synthesis of a scorpion α-toxin affecting sodium channels: The Aah I toxin of Androctonus australis hector

, 2004
International audienceAah I is a 63-residue alpha-toxin isolated from the venom of the Buthidae scorpion Androctonus australis hector, which is considered to be the most dangerous species. We report here the first chemical synthesis of Aah I by the solid-

Environmental adaptation and functional diversity of calcin peptides from the venom of East Asian scorpions

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Toxins as naturally occurring hazardous substances, have evolved as a defense mechanism in organisms for survival. The expression of toxins is profoundly influenced by environmental factors, and the investigation of their correlation holds significant ...

Scorpion envenomation-induced acute thrombotic inferior myocardial infarction

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2016
The occurrence of a serious cardiac emergency following scorpion envenomation has rarely been reported and, when so, mostly presented as non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or myocarditis.

Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha (Diptera)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Multi‐species transcriptomics and deep learning identified candidate genes associated with silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha. Venom‐associated genes were enriched in proteases, inhibitors and pore‐forming proteins, whereas silk‐related genes showed chitin‐binding and peritrophin domains. Integrating co‐expression networks, machine learning and

Voltage clamp analysis of sodium channels in normal and scorpion toxin- resistant neuroblastoma cells

, 1984
Sodium currents mediated by voltage-sensitive sodium channels in normal and scorpion toxin-resistant neuroblastoma cells were measured using a giga-ohm seal recording method in the whole cell patch configuration. The voltage and time dependence of sodium

Structural and Functional Elucidation of Peptide Ts11 Shows Evidence of a Novel Subfamily of Scorpion Venom Toxins

Toxins, 2016
To date, several families of peptide toxins specifically interacting with ion channels in scorpion venom have been described. One of these families comprise peptide toxins (called KTxs), known to modulate potassium channels.

Limb Compression Therapy and Chemotherapy‐Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Women With Gynecologic Cancers: A Prospective Self‐Controlled Study(NEURO‐GLOVE Trial)

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 9, Page 2300-2313, 1 November 2026.
With no effective drug‐based prevention strategies available for chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), research in neuroprotective approaches has grown. Of particular interest is mechanical compression, which may protect nerves by temporarily reducing blood flow during treatment. The authors here conducted a prospective trial in women with
