Recent advances in venom pharmacology reshaping venom-to-drug discovery

  Recent advances in venom pharmacology reshaping venom-to-drug discovery Abstract Animal venoms represent rich sources of pharmacologically active molecules, yet their translation into clinical therapeutics has historically progressed slowly. Recent advances in AI-driven venomics, cryo-electron microscopy, and computational peptide engineering are helping to overcome long-standing barriers in venom-based drug discovery and accelerate therapeutic translation.

Anatoborus gen. nov.: a new genus of Uloboridae (Arachnida: Araneae) from Lord Howe Island, Australia

A new monotypic Australian genus in the spider family Uloboridae Thorell, 1869 is described, Anatoborus gen. nov., with A. grayi sp.nov. from Lord Howe Island (New South Wales) as the type species. This genus posesses relatively simplified genitalic characters for the Uloboridae, similar to two other uloborid genera, Lehtineniana Sherwood, 2022 and Waitkera Opell, 1979.
