Abstract Peptides extracted from scorpion and snake venom exhibit high specificity toward malignant cells due to their ability to bind to...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health concern, often challenging to treat effectively with conventional methods and burdened by adverse effects. Scorpion venoms offer a unique avenue for exploration, given their ability to disrupt the cell cycle, inhibit growth, and trigger apoptosis.

Scorpion milking, the process of extracting venom from scorpions for research or pharmaceutical purposes, represents a fascinating yet inherently dangerous intersection of toxicology, biotechnology, and animal handling. While scorpion venom offers immense potential in medicine — including applications in cancer research, antimicrobial therapy, and neuropharmacology — the act of venom collection requires precision, skill, and strict safety protocols.
