Animal Venoms–Curse or Cure?
MDPI
2021
Abstract
This book is a compilation of all articles that have been published in the special issue of Biomedicines entitled Venoms–Curse or Cure?. It covers recent research and review articles on venoms, poisons and toxins from a taxonomically diverse selection of animals. With the broad range of toxin activities and their related molecular targets, this book is not only aimed at experimental and clinical toxinologists, but should also be of interest to related disciplines such as structural and molecular biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, physiology, pharmacology, and parasitology. Furthermore, some of the suggested potential applications of animal toxins such as molecular research tools, bioinsecticides or human and veterinary therapeutics are also reflected in this book. I would like to thank all authors, many of whom are leading researchers in their field, for their excellent contributions. I further hope the audience will not only find these articles both interesting and informative, but that some readers might gain inspirations leading to novel discoveries in this exciting field of research.
