ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Reactive Oxygen Species‐Induced Damage in Cryopreserved Bovine Sperm: Mitigation Strategies
Cryopreservation of bovine sperm results in overproduction of ROS due to osmotic pressure variations, ice crystals and dysfunction of mitochondria, which causes lipid peroxidation, fragmentation of DNA, protein damage and ultimately decline of post‐thaw sperm quality.

Abstract Research shows that spreading conspiracy theories impacts leaders' reputations; yet, it remains unclear how leaders are viewed when their theories are debunked. Across four studies (N = 1437), we explored whether conveying a conspiracy theory, regardless of its accuracy, influences followers' impressions of leader dominance, competence and ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

‘I Don't Want to Kill Any More Mice’: Taboo and Silence in PhD Education
ABSTRACT Improving the experience and well‐being of doctoral students requires a deep and nuanced understanding of their challenges. Traditionally, researchers have used reactive methods, such as surveys and interviews, to address these issues. However, some topics may be difficult to capture through these approaches, particularly those that are ...

Pubertal development and hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis are altered in male mice lacking Mecp2
Abstract Mutations in the MECP2 gene, encoding the epigenetic reader Methyl‐CpG binding protein 2, are the main cause of Rett syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. Besides severe symptoms such as profound intellectual disability, loss of speech and motor skills, and epilepsy, loss of function of MECP2 has been associated with pubertal ...

Light‐Induced Entropy for Secure Vision
This work realized a ternary true random number generator by exploiting stochastic traps emerging within multiple junction interfaces, and quantitatively validated the generation of high‐quality random numbers. Furthermore, it successfully demonstrated diverse applications, including AI‐resilient image security, thereby providing a valuable guide for ...

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a dormant enzyme, becomes lethal when activated—collapsing lungs in minutes. Our dual therapy (DOPS + varespladib) boosts survival from 0% to >90% in sepsis/ALI. A breakthrough for acute lung injury treatment. ABSTRACT This study reveals that phospholipase A2 (PLA2), normally stable and nontoxic, can be activated specifically ...
