Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

A Cell‐Penetrating Scorpion Venom Peptide Disrupts the HSP90β‐PPARα Interaction to Ameliorate Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

iMetaMed, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2025.
In MASLD, increased HSP90β interacts with PPARα, thereby inhibiting PPARα activation via the inhibition of its nuclear translocation. BmK Tx‐2, a cell‐penetrating peptide from Buthus martensii Karsch scorpion venom, enters hepatocytes via macropinocytosis and escapes endosomes to bind HSP90β.

Intervertebral Disc Proteoglycans: Multifunctional Tissue Stabilizing and Instructional Cell Regulatory Proteins That Control Tissue Homeostasis

JOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Matrix and cell‐associated proteoglycans are important tissue‐stabilizing, weight‐bearing, and tension‐resisting proteins in the intervertebral disc. Their glycosaminoglycan components have growth factor binding and cell‐instructive properties that allow cells to regulate tissue composition and function.
