Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...

ABSTRACT Background Exosomes are naturally secreted nanovesicles with high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to traverse biological barriers, making them attractive theragnostic carriers. When engineered to present tumor‐specific antibodies and to deliver antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs), they may enhance selective targeting of ...

ABSTRACT Gold has been used for centuries in both ornamental and medicinal contexts. More recently, gold compounds, containing ions or nanoparticles, have attracted attention for their anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and diagnostic applications. Therefore, concerns about systemic toxicity and biodistribution have prompted investigations into the ...

“Her Voice Is So Pleasant!”: Sexual Harassment in Chinese Law Firms
ABSTRACT Sexual harassment is frequently observed yet rarely reported in Chinese law firms. Drawing on 103 interviews with early‐career lawyers, this article examines why women lawyers, despite possessing legal expertise that should equip them to identify and resist sexual harassment, experience harassment patterns similar to those documented in other ...

Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Venom gland and reservoir morphology in cynipoid wasps
The venom apparatus morphology was examined in 25 species of Cynipoidea, representing 11 parasitoid taxa; 12 gall inducers and two inquilines. Typically the venom apparatus consists of an oval or bilobed reservoir connected to the ovipositor apparatus by a very short venom duct at the anterior end and to a single elongate unbranched venom gland at or ...

Venom gland transcriptomics for identifying, cataloging, and characterizing venom proteins in snakes
Toxicon, 2015Snake venoms are cocktails of protein toxins that play important roles in capture and digestion of prey. Significant qualitative and quantitative variation in snake venom composition has been observed among and within species. Understanding these variations in protein components is instrumental in interpreting clinical symptoms during human ...

Venom glands in scatophagid fish
Toxicon, 1970Venom glands have been demonstrated in scatophagid fishes for the first time. Six specimens of Scatophagus argus, from 62 mm to 296 mm in standard length, possessed a pair of venom glands accommodated in paired antero-lateral grooves in each fin spine. The venom glands of the larger specimens were shorter than those of the smaller fishes. In Selenotoca

Unmasking venom gland transcriptomes in reptile venoms
Analytical Biochemistry, 2002While structural studies of reptile venom toxins can be achieved using lyophilized venom samples, until now the cloning of precursor cDNAs required sacrifice of the specimen for dissection of the venom glands. Here we describe a simple and rapid technique that unmasks venom protein mRNAs present in lyophilized venom samples. To illustrate the technique
