Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]

, 2019
Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Inside the head of Crotalus durissus LINNAEUS, 1758 (Serpentes, Viperidae, Crotalinae): Macroscopic description of the brain with ontogenetic insights

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 201-213, January 2026.
Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

The issues caused by misinformation—How workers and organizations deal with it: A systematic literature review. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 133-162, January 2026.
Abstract In today's digital age, misinformation propagates rapidly through digital channels, blurring the lines between truth and fiction, and challenging the foundations of trust in information sources. Although affecting all spheres of life, misinformation poses a significant threat to workers highlighting a critical intersection between ...

Computational Studies of Snake Venom Toxins

Toxins, 2017
Most snake venom toxins are proteins, and participate to envenomation through a diverse array of bioactivities, such as bleeding, inflammation, and pain, cytotoxic, cardiotoxic or neurotoxic effects.

Elapid Snake Venom Analyses Show the Specificity of the Peptide Composition at the Level of Genera Naja and Notechis

Toxins, 2014
Elapid snake venom is a highly valuable, but till now mainly unexplored, source of pharmacologically important peptides. We analyzed the peptide fractions with molecular masses up to 10 kDa of two elapid snake venoms—that of the African cobra, N.

Local Ecological Knowledge and Cultural Perceptions of Snakes in Sudan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
In Sudan, snakes are viewed through a mix of ecological, cultural, and spiritual lenses, shaping both conservation attitudes and health responses. Our survey (n = 192) across 16 states revealed frequent encounters, polarized conservation views, widespread killing of snakes, reliance on traditional remedies, and strong public support (95%) for ...

Vintage venoms: proteomic and pharmacological stability of snake venoms stored for up to eight decades [PDF]

, 2014
For over a century, venom samples from wild snakes have been collected and stored around the world. However, the quality of storage conditions for "vintage" venoms has rarely been assessed.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes

BMC Genomics
Background Venom systems are ideal models to study genetic regulatory mechanisms that underpin evolutionary novelty. Snake venom glands are thought to share a common origin, but there are major distinctions between venom toxins from the medically ...

Phosphorylation of CLEC-2 is dependent on lipid rafts, actin polymerization,secondary mediators, and Rac [PDF]

, 2010
The C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2)activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases via a single cytoplasmic YxxL motif known as a hem immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).Here, we demonstrate using sucrose gradient ...
