Phospholipase D toxins of brown spider venom convert lysophosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin to cyclic phosphates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Venoms of brown spiders in the genus Loxosceles contain phospholipase D enzyme toxins that can cause severe dermonecrosis and even death in humans.

Toxins, 2021 Venoms are complex mixtures of biologically active molecules that impact multiple physiological systems. Manufacture of antivenoms (AVs) therefore requires potency testing using in vivo models to ensure AV efficacy. As part of ongoing research to replace

Molecular Spiders with Memory [PDF]
Physical Review E 76, 021121 (2007), 2007 Synthetic bio-molecular spiders with "legs" made of single-stranded segments of DNA can move on a surface which is also covered by single-stranded segments of DNA complementary to the leg DNA. In experimental realizations, when a leg detaches from a segment of the surface for the first time it alters that segment, and legs subsequently bound to these ...

Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.

Venom-gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of the Tibellus oblongus spider
Scientific Data, 2023 AbstractThe Tibellus oblongus spider is an active hunter that does not spin webs and remains highly underinvestigated in terms of the venom composition. Here, we describe venom glands transcriptome and venom proteome analysis for unveiling the polypeptide composition of Tibellus oblongus spider venom.

Sparse Image Reconstruction for the SPIDER Optical Interferometric Telescope [PDF]
Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Photonics,
Optics and Laser Technology, February 11-13, 2021, 2019 The concept of a recently proposed small-scale interferometric optical imaging device, an instrument known as the Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-optical Reconnaissance (SPIDER), is of great interest for its possible applications in astronomy and space science.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The addition of 10 μg cm−2 of Cry1Ac to the surface of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a (ω/κ‐Hv1a) incorporated diet can significantly increase the mortality of Cry‐resistant Helicoverpa zea compared to diets without the Cry1Ac toxin. Abstract BACKGROUND Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn.

Can we resolve the taxonomic bias in spider venom research?
Toxicon: X, 2019 The rate of discovery of new spider species greatly exceeds the rate of spider venom characterisation, leading to an increasing number of species with unstudied venoms.

Initiative Defense against Facial Manipulation [PDF]
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence,
35(2), 1619-1627, 2021, 2021 Benefiting from the development of generative adversarial networks (GAN), facial manipulation has achieved significant progress in both academia and industry recently. It inspires an increasing number of entertainment applications but also incurs severe threats to individual privacy and even political security meanwhile.
