Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Hirata’s disease (insulin autoimmune syndrome) following envenomation by a common krait [PDF]
Snakebite envenomation is known to cause local as well as systemic haematological, myotoxic and neurological effects. Adverse effects on the endocrine system following envenomation are rarely reported.

Developing Small Molecule Therapeutics for the Initial and Adjunctive Treatment of Snakebite
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently added snakebite envenoming to the priority list of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD). It is thought that ~75% of mortality following snakebite occurs outside the hospital setting, making the temporal gap ...

Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustrating mechanisms underlying direct vascular absorption and subsequent movement of venom toxins into the tissues consequent to snakebite. A, snakebite into prey deposits venom toxins into the tissue interstitium, with the venom then causing acute inflammation primarily in venules.

ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation remains a significant yet often overlooked health challenge in Nepal, particularly in its rural and hilly regions. While venom‐induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) is commonly observed with viper bites, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is an extremely rare complication, especially with green pit vipers ...
