Derivation of snake venom gland organoids for in vitro venom production [PDF]
Nature Protocols, 2021 More than 400,000 people each year suffer adverse effects following bites from venomous snakes. However, snake venom is also a rich source of bioactive molecules with known or potential therapeutic applications. Manually 'milking' snakes is the most common method to obtain venom.

Toxicon, 2006 The funnel-web spider, Agelena labyrinthica, is widely distributed throughout Turkey. The objective of the present study was to describe the histological and functional fine structure of A. labyrinthica's venom gland by using light microscope, scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Host and venom evolution in parasitoid wasps: does independently adapting to the same host shape the evolution of the venom gland transcriptome? [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Venoms have repeatedly evolved over 100 occasions throughout the animal tree of life, making them excellent systems for exploring convergent evolutionary novelty.

Exploring the Venom Gland Transcriptome of Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca: De Novo Assembly and Analysis of Novel Toxic Proteins [PDF]
ToxinsPrevious proteomic studies of viperid venom revealed that it is mainly composed of metalloproteinases (SVMPs), serine proteinases (SVSPs), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), and C-type lectins (CTLs).

Differential toxicity and venom gland gene expression in Centruroides vittatus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Variation in venom toxicity and composition exists in many species. In this study, venom potency and venom gland gene expression was evaluated in Centruroides vittatus, size class I-II (immature) and size class IV (adults/penultimate instars) size ...

Transcriptomic Analysis of the Spider Venom Gland Reveals Venom Diversity and Species Consanguinity [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 Selenocosmia jiafu (S. jiafu) has been recently identified as a new species of spider in China. It lives in the same habitat as various other venomous spiders, including Chilobrachys jingzhao (C. jingzhao), Selenocosmia huwena (S. huwena), and Macrothele raveni (M. raveni).
