ANTITUMOR EFFECT OF SNAKE VENOMS
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins, 1996 The search for biological antitumor agents has been pursued for over half a century. Snake venom has been shown to possess a wide spectrum of biological activities. The objectives of the present review are to evaluate the existing controversies on this subject published in a number of papers and to propose probable explanations for the phenomena ...

Preparing for the worst: The irrationality of emotionally recalcitrant reasoning
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract The question of what exactly is irrational about recalcitrant emotions—those that occur in tension or conflict with our beliefs—has been widely debated. Sabine Döring claims that such irrationality only emerges if we act on our recalcitrant emotion or engage in emotion‐relevant reasoning in light of it.

Conservation beyond biopolitics: Vulnerability and abundance in Chennai's nature‐cultures
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract This paper examines a breadth of natures and nature practices in Chennai, India, to illuminate the socio‐material processes that undermine some natures even while supporting others, and to highlight paradoxical responses to nonhuman agencies and resilience within the domain of ecological concern.

Emulating duration and curvature of coral snake anti-predator thrashing behaviors using a soft-robotic platform [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper presents a soft-robotic platform for exploring the ecological relevance of non-locomotory movements via animal-robot interactions. Coral snakes (genus Micrurus) and their mimics use vigorous, non-locomotory, and arrhythmic thrashing to deter predation.

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 13, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT The primary degradation pathway for antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) involves endonuclease and exonuclease‐mediated breakdown. The effect of various chemical modifications on the stability of oligonucleotides has not been systematically investigated.

Effect of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes Snake Venom on the Human Cytokine Network
Toxins, 2018 Local inflammation is a well-known symptom of envenomation by snakes of the family Viperidae, attributed primarily to the phospholipase A2s, metalloproteinases and L-amino acid oxidases contained in their venom.

Variational approximations to homoclinic snaking [PDF]
, 2010 We investigate the snaking of localised patterns, seen in numerous physical applications, using a variational approximation. This method naturally introduces the exponentially small terms responsible for the snaking structure, that are not accessible via standard multiple-scales asymptotic techniques.

Super‐Tough Silk: The Potential of Knots in Evolved Spiders
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 15, April 10, 2025.The toughness of spider silk can be further significantly enhanced if spiders evolved the –currently absent/undiscovered– ability to tie knots in their silk. The results on 393 spiders suggest toughness increments by one or two orders of magnitude and thus a new perspective on how knotting can serve as a key innovation in spider evolution and in ...
