A new and promising approach in cancer research has emerged, where bee venom could play a crucial role in targeting and ...

Researchers from the Harry Perkins Institute and the University of Western Australia have discovered that honeybee venom can ...

The venom - and a compound in it called melittin - were used against two cancer types which are hard to treat: triple-negative and HER2-enriched. The discovery has been described as "exciting ...

Once the stinger pierces a mammal's soft skin, the attached venom pouch pumps a mixture containing melittin, histamine, and other enzymes into the target. When the bee pulls away, the barb anchors ...

Chronic diabetic wounds confront a significant medical challenge because of increasing prevalence and difficult-healing ...

The biggest culprit — and source of pain — is a protein called melittin, which causes blood vessels at the site of the sting to expand and burst. There are also other components of venom that ...

The hypoxia microenvironment contributes to cancer progression. The purpose was to explore the effects and mechanism of melittin on NSCLC cells in the hypoxic microenvironment. Here we set up the ...

Rodial's famous Bee Venom range works to target fine lines while repairing skin barrier for a youthful glow and we have found ...

This work has uncovered the length scale dependence of the drying transition as well as the role of hydrophobic interactions in the formation of melittin tetramers. Most recently, we have studied the ...

In addition, the microspheres are co-loaded with melittin and vascular endothelial growth factor, with a release behavior that can be regulated through the same mechanism. Additionally ...
