Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi‐Omic Approach
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.ABSTRACT Snake genomes attract significant attention from multiple disciplines, including medicine, drug bioprospection, and evolutionary biology. However, genomic research within the Viperidae family has mostly focused on the subfamily Crotalinae, while the true vipers (Viperinae) have largely been overlooked.

Antibacterial activity of the venom of Heterometrus xanthopus
, 2012 Heterometrus xanthopus (Scorpion) is one of the most venomous and ancient arthropods. Its venom contains anti-microbial peptides like hadrurin, scorpine, Pandinin 1, and Pandinin 2 that are able to effectively kill multidrug-resistant pathogens.

BmKn-2 Scorpion Venom Peptide for Killing Oral Cancer Cells by Apoptosis [PDF]
Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2015 Scorpion venom peptides recently have attracted attention as alternative chemotherapeutic agents that may overcome the limitations of current drugs, providing specific cytotoxicity for cancer cells with an ability to bypass multidrug-resistance mechanisms, additive effects in combination therapy and safety.

Evolution of Phospholipase A2 in Bees and Flies
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigated the evolution of the PLA2 gene in bees and flies and compared the evolutionary rate between them, which denotes the toxic group and the non‐toxic group. The results showed that PLA2 was under purifying selection and that an accelerated evolution of PLA2 occurred in the toxic group when compared with the non‐toxic group ...

Novel conopeptides of largely unexplored Indo Pacific Conus sp. [PDF]
, 2016 Cone snails are predatory creatures using venom as a weapon for prey capture and defense. Since this venom is neurotoxic, the venom gland is considered as an enormous collection of pharmacologically interesting compounds having a broad spectrum of ...
