Extending Metabolomic Studies of Apis mellifera Venom: LC-MS-Based Targeted Analysis of Organic Acids

Toxins, 2019
Organic acids are important active small molecules present in venoms and toxins, which have not been fully explored yet. The aim of the study was the determination of organic acids in honeybee venom (HBV) samples by using liquid chromatography-tandem ...

Prognostic Value of Lupus Anticoagulant and Anti–β2 Glycoprotein I Antibody in Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective International criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL) IgG and IgM, and anti–β2‐glycoprotein I (β2GPI) IgG and IgM. However, evidence supporting their prognostic value or treatment efficacy in improving live birth rates is limited.

Towards the Exploration and Evolution of Insulin-like Venoms in Actiniaria (Sea anemones)

Marine Drugs
Recent studies have elucidated the diversity of genes encoding venom in Sea anemones. However, most of those genes are yet to be explored in an evolutionary context. Insulin is a common peptide across metazoans and has been coopted into a predatory venom
