Scorpion Species with Smaller Body Sizes and Narrower Chelae Have the Highest Venom Potency
, 2022 Scorpionism is a global health concern, with an estimation of over one million annual envenomation cases. Despite this, little is known regarding the drivers of scorpion venom potency.

Scorpions and their Venom [PDF]
Nature, 1922 PHYSALIA in “Animaux Venimeux,” p. 252, says that in all venomous animals their immunity to their own venom is limited, and announces that in an experiment a scorpion, Bulteus australis, was killed by an injection of the same venom as its own. I should like to add further observations from personal experience, bearing on this very interesting subject.

Scorpion Venom and the Inflammatory Response [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 2010 Scorpion venoms consist of a complex of several toxins that exhibit a wide range of biological properties and actions, as well as chemical compositions, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. These venoms are associated with high morbility and mortality, especially among children. Victims of envenoming by a scorpion suffer a

The myth of scorpion suicide: are scorpions insensitive to their own venom? [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1998 ABSTRACT The resistance of the scorpion Androctonus australis to its own venom, as well as to the venom of other species, was investigated. A comparison of the electrical and pharmacological properties of muscle and nerve fibres from Androctonus australis with those from the crayfish Procambarus clarkii enabled us to understand the lack ...

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.

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 ...

Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.
