Electrical Cell Impedance Sensing (ECIS): Feasibility of a Novel In Vitro Approach to Studying Venom Toxicity and Potential Therapeutics [PDF]
ToxinsSnakebite envenoming is often discussed in terms of lethality and limb loss, but local tissue injury and coagulotoxic effects of venom are significantly more common acute manifestations of snakebite envenoming (SBE).

Viper Venom Components Affecting Angiogenesis [PDF]
Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 2001 Angiogenesis is a complex process consisting of the proliferation, migration and differentiation of endothelial cells, and it is essential for the progression of malignant solid tumors. In this report, we examine the effects of disintegrins (e.g. rhodostomin and accutin) and glycoprotein-lb-binding proteins (e.g.

Potential of herbal cocktail of medicinal plant extracts against ‘big four’ snake venoms from India
Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, 2021 Background: Venomous snake bites cause acute medical emergencies and are fatal. India accounts for large proportion of snake-bite deaths globally. Medically important ‘BIG FOUR’ snakes of India are Bungarus caeruleus (krait), Naja naja (cobra), Echis ...
