Venom variability: Genetic influences in the pit viper
Date: Oct 16, 2013
Author: Steve Down
The venom proteomes of young jararaca pit vipers that were raised under the same living conditions differ from each other from a very early age, suggesting that the variations are genetically inherited.

Vampire diaries: Protein evolution in bat venom
Date: Aug 1, 2013
Author: Steve Down
The venom of the common vampire bat contains a far more complex set of proteins than previously thought, thanks to an international study which identified new isoforms of other mammalian proteins and considered their molecular evolution.

Eye contact: Proteins implicated in wet age-related macular degeneration
Date: Jul 15, 2013
Author: Steve Down
A number of potential biomarkers for wet age-related macular degeneration have been identified in a proteomics study on the aqueous humour of Chinese patients, which might lead to new treatments for the disease.
