Modern Venom Profiling: Mining into Scorpion Venom Biodiversity [PDF]
, 2014 Scorpions and their sting are infamous for causing pain, morbidity, and, in some cases, death. However, research into scorpion venoms has revealed the presence of components that potentially have beneficial properties for humans. Such components may be developed into therapeutics or bioinsecticides.
