EGF and EREG regulate early oncoprotein-mediated tissue transformation in intestinal organoids.

The paper investigates how EGF and EREG influence early oncogenic transformation in intestinal organoids by altering crypt and villus development.

The transcriptional response in mosquitoes distinguishes between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types

This study compares the transcriptional responses of mosquitoes to different pathogens and finds that they distinguish between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types.

Insight into the structural hierarchy of the protease cascade that regulates the mosquito melanization response

The paper defines the structural hierarchy of An. gambiae cSPs in the melanization cascade and shows their functional interactions with cSPHs.

CLIPB4 is a central node in the protease network that regulates humoral immunity in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes

The paper identifies CLIPB4 as a central protease in the immune network of Anopheles gambiae, showing its role in melanization and antibacterial immunity through interactions with SRPN2.

The potential of the Beauveria bassiana MHK isolate for mosquito larval control

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Beauveria bassiana MHK isolate in controlling mosquito larvae of Anopheles gambiae and Aedes albopictus, showing higher mortality in An. gambiae and developmental delays in both species.

Host-environment interplay shapes fungal diversity in mosquitoes

This study characterizes the mycobiota in Aedes albopictus larvae and their aquatic environments, revealing environmental shaping of fungal communities and tissue-specific assembly patterns.

Dectin-1 Molecular Aggregation and Signaling is Sensitive to β-Glucan Structure and Glucan Exposure on Candida albicans Cell Walls

This study shows that Dectin-1A signaling and molecular aggregation depend on β-glucan structure and exposure, with higher structured glucans inducing more receptor dimerization and signaling.
