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.

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

Scorpion venomics: a 2019 overview

Expert Review of Proteomics, 2019
Introduction: A few scorpions are dangerous to humans. Their medical relevance was the initial driving force for venom research. By classical biochemistry and molecular cloning, several venom peptides and their coding transcripts were characterized, mainly those related to toxins.

Evidence of Direct Toxicological Effects of Scorpion Venom on Central Nervous System in Tunisian Children

Case Reports in Critical Care, 2018
Background. Severe scorpion envenomation can lead to severe neurological manifestations, which are an indicator of the severity of the scorpion sting. The direct action of scorpion venom on the central nervous system can explain partly these neurological

Comparison between two methods of scorpion venom milking in Morocco

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2013
Background The present study compared two methods used successfully in a large-scale program for the collection of scorpion venoms, namely the milking of adult scorpions via manual and electrical stimulation.

Introduction: Charting the Evolution of English and Anglophone Writing in Asia

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This introductory article explores the history of the English language and literatures in the Asian ‘Outer Circle’ countries, or English in its ‘second diaspora’, focusing primarily on literature from its beginnings to the present. Due to space limitations, the scope is further narrowed to poetry and the novel – the two genres that, arguably ...

Drug Discovery for Snakebite Envenoming: Wanderings Amid Historical Antidotes and Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 21, 12 November 2026.
In this review, we provide an overview of selected historical antidotes against snakebite envenomation used in early modern Europe. Then, the evidence‐based antivenom activity of some natural compounds is discussed as resulting from more than two decades of research studies.

Spinal Anesthesia Failure Following Wasp Envenomation: A Case Series of Two Patients

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spinal anesthesia is highly effective, and complete failure in healthy patients is rare. Wasp venom contains neuroactive peptides capable of modifying sodium‐channel function and inducing neuroinflammation, but its impact on neuraxial anesthesia has not been previously reported. We describe two healthy ASA I males who developed complete spinal

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...
