title: Kill and cure: the promising future for venom research.
abstract: Venomous creatures have always had a peculiar fascination in both real-life and fiction and the nature of their venoms, how they act, and how they can be neutralized are intrinsically important fields of research. In recent years, however, interest has extended beyond this into the development of new protein and peptide substances of therapeutic importance.
