Snake venoms in diagnostic hemostasis and thrombosis
, 2022 Snake venoms have evolved primarily to immobilize and kill prey, and consequently, they contain some of the most potent natural toxins. Part of that armory is a range of hemotoxic components that affect every area of hemostasis, which we have harnessed ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Processing of Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: Generation of Toxin Diversity and Enzyme Inactivation
Toxins, 2016 Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are abundant in the venoms of vipers and rattlesnakes, playing important roles for the snake adaptation to different environments, and are related to most of the pathological effects of these venoms in human victims.

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.

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 34, 11 September 2026.Nucleotide‐detected solid‐state NMR has been applied to probe nucleotide conformations and dynamics during ATP hydrolysis using the dimeric P‐loop ATPase SmsC as a model protein. The different stages of ATP hydrolysis have been mimicked by ATP analogues for which different degrees of conformational heterogeneity have been observed. ABSTRACT Solid‐state

Cross neutralization of coral snake venoms by commercial Australian snake antivenoms
, 2017 Context: Although rare, coral snake envenomation is a serious health threat in Brazil, because of the highly neurotoxic venom and the scarcely available antivenom.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2286-2297, September 2026.Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Snake envenomation remains a significant cause of morbidity worldwide, with antivenom serving as the cornerstone of treatment. This case series describes outcomes of three male patients (ages 34–63 years) with severe envenomation who demonstrated progressive local swelling and coagulopathy despite receiving at least 15 vials of antivenom.

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.
