Antidote for Aging: Synthetic Viper Venom Smooths Over a Cross-cultural Concern
Sep 2, 2017 | Remo Campiche, Marc Heidl, Rainer Voegeli and Dominik Imfeld, DSM Nutritional Products, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland; Pierre Séroul, Newtone Technologies, Lyon, France; and Anthony V. Rawlings, AVR Consulting Ltd., Northwich, England
DABBA is a synthetic peptide that mimics Waglerin-1, a toxin from the temple viper. It is shown here to reversibly inhibit muscular contraction and reduce wrinkle formation, and to induce the expression of genes that improve collagen fiber maturation. Notably, differences in anti-wrinkle effects were observed in different ethnicities.
Tox Testing at the Speed of Light (Really)
Aug 22, 2017
Until now, testing chemicals for their toxicity has relied on reporter genes, which can take 24 hr to deliver results. A new approach from North Carolina State University, however, uses a modified protein that emits light when binding occurs—effectively signaling its safety.
