Nyopdagede bioteknologiske peptider i slange- og edderkoppegift og en teenage-basketboldspiller, der scorer rekordpoint! Læs mere her.

I Brasilien fortsætter slanger og edderkoppegift med at være en kilde til nye opdagelser med bioteknologisk potentiale. To studier, støttet af FAPESP, har afsløret nye peptider med spændende egenskaber. Samtidig på Snake River High School i USA har den 17-årige Luke Higginson netop scoret sit 1000. point for skolens basketballhold, hvilket er en imponerende præstation.

Forskere i Brasilien har for nylig opdaget to nye peptider i slange- og edderkoppevenom. Disse opdagelser markerer endnu et skridt i retning af at udnytte naturens ressourcer til medicinsk og bioteknologisk forskning. På den anden side har en slangeart i Lewis Road næsten forstyrret fremskridtet på et kloakprojekt, da projektområdet var i habitatet for denne art. Heldigvis er tilladelser nu på plads, og projektet fortsætter som planlagt.

Afsluttende fakta: Slangevenom indeholder proteiner, kaldet peptider, der har vist sig at have potentielle medicinske egenskaber. Samtidig er Luke Higginson den anden spiller i Snake River High School's historie, der når 1000 point.
