#Surkhandarya🦂 Humane Science: Student from Termez Develops a Way to Extract Scorpion Venom Without Killing It A third-year biology student at the Termez State Pedagogical Institute, Feruza Tukhtamurodova, has developed an innovative device that allows scorpion venom to be extracted without harming the animal. 🔬 Unlike traditional methods that often result in the death of the scorpion, this new approach uses safe electrostimulation. It enables repeated venom extraction from the same scorpion, without causing harm. 💡 Why it matters: — reduces the killing of animals — helps address the shortage of valuable biological material — opens new opportunities for medicine and pharmaceuticals 🧪 Scorpion venom is not just dangerous — it has significant medical potential. It contains chlorotoxin, which can slow the growth of cancer cells, as well as neurotoxins used in treating neurological disorders. 💰 Interesting fact: On the global market, scorpion venom can cost up to $12,000, while in Uzbekistan it is around $5,000. 🌱 This innovation shows that science can be both effective and humane. 👏 Proud of Uzbekistan’s young scientists! ☘️Read the latest environmental news on the @ekologuz page.
