Morphophysiological dynamics of the proximal post‐testicular ducts in Crotalus durissus Linnaeus, 1758 (Squamata: Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The organization and function of reptilian excurrent ducts remain poorly characterized, particularly in Neotropical snakes. We provide the first integrative morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural analysis of the proximal post‐testicular ducts of Crotalus durissus across reproductive stages.

Evaluation of Antifungal Activity of Naja pallida and Naja mossambica Venoms against Three Candida Species

Toxins, 2020
In contrast to comprehensively investigated antibacterial activity of snake venoms, namely crude venoms and their selected components, little is known about antifungal properties of elapid snake venoms. In the present study, the proteome of two venoms of

The evolution and structure of snake venom phosphodiesterase (svPDE) highlight its importance in venom actions

eLife, 2023
For decades, studies of snake venoms focused on the venom-ome-specific toxins (VSTs). VSTs are dominant soluble proteins believed to contribute to the main venomous effects and emerged into gene clusters for fast adaptation and diversification of snake ...

Rapid Identification of Phospholipase A₂ Transcripts from Snake Venoms [PDF]

, 2019
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a major component in snake venoms and it is found in many different isoforms. To identify transcripts encoding different PLA2 isoforms, we developed a simple, rapid procedure.

Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction in Hypermobile Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Patients with hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) who screened positive for inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) reported significantly greater voice, cough, swallowing, gastrointestinal, and mast cell‐related symptoms than those without ILO. Chronic cough, dysphagia, and elevated mast cell symptom score
