Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom Induces Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer Cell Lines. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2019 Cervical cancer (CC) is classified as the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide and remains a serious public health problem in many underdeveloped countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly types 16 and 18, has been established as a precursory etiologic agent for this type of cancer.

Inhibition of Tityus serrulatus venom hyaluronidase affects venom biodistribution. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2019 The hyaluronidase enzyme is generally known as a spreading factor in animal venoms. Although its activity has been demonstrated in several organisms, a deeper knowledge about hyaluronidase and the venom spreading process from the bite/sting site until its elimination from the victim's body is still in need.

Selected to survive and kill: Tityus serrulatus, the Brazilian yellow scorpion. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 Annually, more than 1.2 million scorpion stings and more than 3,000 deaths occur worldwide. Tityus serrulatus Lutz and Mello, 1922 (Scorpiones, Buthidae) is the most medically relevant species in Brazil where it is spreading rapidly and causing over 90,000 cases of envenomation yearly. We monitored T. serrulatus longevity and ability to reproduce under

Electrophysiological Characterization of the Antarease Metalloprotease from Tityus serrulatus Venom. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2017 Scorpions are among the oldest venomous living organisms and the family Buthidae is the largest and most medically relevant one. Scorpion venoms include many toxic peptides, but recently, a metalloprotease from Tityus serrulatus called antarease was reported to be capable of cleaving VAMP2, a protein involved in the neuroparalytic syndromes of tetanus ...

Neutralizing effects of Mimosa tenuiflora extracts against inflammation caused by Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2014 Scorpion bite represents a significant and serious public health problem in certain regions of Brazil, as well as in other parts of the world. Inflammatory mediators are thought to be involved in the systemic and local immune response induced by Tityus serrulatus scorpion envenomation.
