Mass spectrometry in snake venom research
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2022 Mass spectrometry allows rapid and reliable identification and characterisation of proteins and peptides in snake venoms. With the increasing availability of transcriptomic and genomic data, there is a growing database of protein sequences that is ...

Toxins, 2022 Two recently revised Azemiops snakes with apparent differences in their external appearances and skeletal morphologies but unclear genetic boundaries have been proposed. Some researchers have refrained from using the newly proposed taxonomy because these

The Clotting Action of Russell Viper Venom [PDF]
Blood, 1954 Abstract 1. It has been shown that Russell viper venom in the presence of lipoid cofactor can clot hemophilia A plasma, hemophilia B plasma and proconvertin deficient plasma within 5 seconds. It is unable to clot proaccelerin deficient plasma rapidly. Thus the clotting behavior of venom-lipoid is similar to convertin. 2. A

Advanced morphology of VIPERS galaxies [PDF]
, 2021 We calculated morphological parameters for 70821 galaxies from VIPERS (spectroscopic galaxy survey performed on VIMOS spectroscope at VLT). These parameters includes Gini, M20, Concentration, Asymmetry and Smoothness. Results correlate with the distribution of these parameters for other simulated and observed samples.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Envenomation by viperid snakes is characterized by systemic thrombotic syndrome and prominent local inflammation. To date, the mechanisms underlying inflammation and blood coagulation induced by Viperidae venoms have been viewed as distinct processes ...

Viper venom for diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Kidney International, 2012 Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers are thought to have a specific renoprotective effect in diabetes. Hirst et al. report the results of randomized clinical trials assessing the effects of RAAS inhibitors on urinary albumin excretion levels in ...

Children and Snakebite: Snake Venom Effects on Adult and Paediatric Plasma
Toxins, 2023 Snakebite is a globally neglected tropical disease, with coagulation disturbances being the primary pathology of many deadly snake venoms. Age-related differences in human plasma have been abundantly reported, yet the effect that these differences pose ...

Cosmology behind the mask: Constraining the parameters of $Λ$CDM with the unmasked galaxy density field from VIPERS [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 512,
Issue 2, May 2022, Pages 2817-2826, 2021 Galaxy redshift surveys are designed to map cosmic structures in three dimensions for large-scale structure studies. Nevertheless, limitations due to sampling and the survey window are unavoidable and degrade the cosmological constraints. We present an analysis of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) over the redshift range $0.6 < z <
