Toxicon ready for action

Previously a human from nobility, Toxicon volunteered to get cybernetic upgrades not knowing it would turn into a chemical weapon. Shortly after the enhancements were in place something when haywire causing Toxicon to go berserk. It now lives in a part of the ruins forced into solitude due to it’s malfunctioning poison production. Constantly producing and emitting a toxic airborne virus that attacks the lungs of humans. It only comes to town rarely to get necessities for survival.

Toxicon and Arachne

Wanted to draw something, using the old meme, and instead of a suggestion this Book Title came up naturally in conversation. Decided to use the myth and what I knew of 'toxicon' and make it work.

I thought it was funny.

Medical application of scorpion venom to breast cancer: A mini-review

Highlights

•Scorpion venom peptides have anti-carcinogenic properties on breast cancer cells.

•Peptides affect cell cycle, induce apoptosis, and arrest breast cancer cell growth.

•Scorpion venom increases NO and Caspase-3 activity, while MCF-7 is inhibited.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of mortality in women worldwide. Today, 1 in 8 women born in the United States will have an invasive cancer in their lifetime. Despite significant attempts, the prognosis of metastatic breast cancer still remains poor. This has compelled scientists to look elsewhere for better therapeutic outcomes. Recent advances in venomic studies have demonstrated some promise in cancer-related ailments. Scorpion venom, a complex cocktail of biogenic amines, proteins, peptides, mucoproteins, organic salts and neurotoxins has shown a potential therapeutic application due to its cytotoxic, apoptogenic, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative properties. This communication reviews the effects of scorpion venom components on breast cancer and their mechanisms.

Metal Obsession – “We really tried to make something we are proud of” – An Interview With Wayne Clarris (Toxicon)

Here is a sample of the interview conducted by Jake Patton. So Purge is finally out – how has the reception been for it? “It’s been really positive so far and everybody has been jumping onboard.
