If you're bitten by a venomous snake, the medicine you need is antivenom. Unfortunately, antivenoms are species specific, meaning you need to have the right antivenom for the snake that bit you. Most of the time, people have no idea what species of snake has bitten them. And for some snakes, antivenoms are simply not available.New research my colleagues and I conducted provides a significant step forward in enabling the development of an antivenom that will neutralize the effects of venom from any venomous snake: a…

Scientists at Scripps Research have created an antibody that effectively neutralizes the venom from various deadly snakes, potentially leading to a universal antivenom. This breakthrough offers a promising solution to the global challenge of snakebite envenoming, particularly benefiting regions with the highest incidence of snake bites.

Recent research challenges traditional Western music theory by showing that the appreciation of harmony is not strictly bound to mathematical ratios, as previously thought, but can be enhanced by slight imperfections and the use of non-Western instruments, revealing a broader spectrum of musical consonance and dissonance. This discovery, made through extensive behavioral experiments, suggests that there is much to learn from the musical instruments and theories of other cultures, and opens up new possibilities for musical…

The standoff between TikTok and the Universal Music Group (UMG) has prompted the video-sharing app to remove all songs written by UMG songwriters.

We might be soon on the verge of having a super snake antivenom. In new research, a team of scientists says they’ve created a lab-made antibody geared to counteract toxic bites from a wide variety of snakes. In early tests with mice, the uber-antivenom appeared to work as intended.What Drew Noomi Rapace to Constellation?Snake antivenom is typically derived from the antibodies of horses or other animals that produce a strong immune response to snake toxins. These donated antibodies can be highly effective at preventing…
