Neurotoxins Acting on TRPV1—Building a Molecular Template for the Study of Pain and Thermal Dysfunctions

open access: yesToxins
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are ubiquitous proteins involved in a wide range of physiological functions. Some of them are expressed in nociceptors and play a major role in the transduction of painful stimuli of mechanical, thermal, or ...

Peptide Toxins in Solitary Wasp Venoms

open access: yes, 2016
Solitary wasps paralyze insects or spiders with stinging venom and feed the paralyzed preys to their larva. Accordingly, the venoms should contain a variety of constituents acting on nervous systems.

Rapid Identification of Phospholipase A2 Transcripts from Snake Venoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a major component in snake venoms and it is found in many different isoforms. To identify transcripts encoding different PLA2 isoforms, we developed a simple, rapid procedure.

Bite First, Bleed Later: How Philippine Trimeresurus Pit Viper Venoms Hijack Blood Clotting

open access: yes
The Philippines has a high diversity of venomous snake species, but there is minimal information on their envenomation effects. This is evidenced by the small number of case reports, the poor reporting of envenomation cases, and the absence of specific ...

Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard): An Aerial Robotic Swarm for Autonomous Detection and Entrapment of Rogue Multirotors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard) is introduced as a four‐drone swarm that autonomously detects, tracks, and safely captures rogue drones using a coordinated net system. Computer vision and leader–follower control architecture enable synchronized enclosure, while integrated failsafes enhance system reliability. Validated through closed‐environment

Suramin inhibits the early effects of PLA(2) neurotoxins at mouse neuromuscular junctions: a twitch tension study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Several phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) neurotoxins from snake venoms can affect acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. In isolated nerve-muscle preparations three distinct phases have been described for this phenomenon: An initial transient ...
