No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Systemic impact of intramuscular snake envenomation and intravenous immunoglobulin‐based antivenom treatment on murine plasma proteome and peptidome

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Immunological Cross‐Reactivity and Neutralizing Efficacy of Antivenom Against Five Medically Important Iranian Viper Venoms

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Investigating Iranian viper venoms reveals compositional and antigenic diversity impacting antivenom efficacy. The study highlights the need to incorporate both broadly cross‐reactive and specifically under‐represented venoms into immunization mixtures to optimize paraspecific protection strategies.

Skin Grafting for Cobra Bite–Induced Hand Defects: Refining Indications in a Dynamic Wound Environment

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cobra envenomation frequently results in progressive soft‐tissue necrosis of the hand, posing significant challenges for reconstruction. While flap‐based reconstruction is often recommended for severe defects, the role of skin grafting in appropriately selected cases remains poorly defined.
