Investigadores del Instituto de Biotecnolog\u00eda de la UNAM participaron en un estudio internacional que desarroll\u00f3 un antiveneno capaz de neutralizar las mordeduras de algunas de las serpientes como cobras, mambas y rinkhals, entre otras. Este avance utiliza una tecnolog\u00eda basada en nanocuerpos recombinantes, una versi\u00f3n sint\u00e9tica de los anticuerpos presentes en cam\u00e9lidos como alpacas y llamas, lo que elimina la necesidad de inmunizar animales y permite una producci\u00f3n m\u00e1s segura y controlada.<\/span><\/p>\n

El equipo mexicano, conformado por los investigadores Edgar Neri Castro, Alejandro Alag\u00f3n Cano y el estudiante de maestr\u00eda Alid Guadarrama Mart\u00ednez, trabaj\u00f3 junto a 30 cient\u00edficos de diversos pa\u00edses para desarrollar este tratamiento, que demostr\u00f3 ser eficaz en modelos animales.<\/span><\/p>\n

A diferencia de los antivenenos tradicionales derivados del suero animal, esta nueva generaci\u00f3n presenta una composici\u00f3n uniforme y mayor capacidad para adaptarse a distintas toxinas, lo que representa un paso importante hacia terapias m\u00e1s seguras, consistentes y accesibles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Las mordeduras de serpiente son consideradas una enfermedad tropical desatendida por la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud y cada a\u00f1o causan miles de muertes y discapacidades, principalmente en comunidades rurales pobres. Con este avance, la UNAM y sus colaboradores internacionales abren la puerta al dise\u00f1o de nuevos contravenenos m\u00e1s eficaces y sostenibles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los pr\u00f3ximos pasos del proyecto incluyen optimizar la producci\u00f3n a gran escala, probar su aplicaci\u00f3n en humanos y evaluar su viabilidad en regiones donde los tratamientos actuales resultan limitados.<\/span><\/p>\n
