This paper develops and validates a magnetic nanoparticle-based method for efficient purification of His6-tagged proteins, showing higher yield than traditional chromatography.

The paper characterizes the pharyngeal taste organ in Rhodnius prolixus, identifying its role in detecting appetitive and aversive stimuli during blood feeding.

This study shows that eIF3m gene silencing in Rhodnius prolixus disrupts blood meal digestion, moulting, reproduction, and survival, highlighting its critical role in triatomine physiology.

The paper develops a high-throughput method for detecting kdr mutations in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and reports their presence in Argentina for the first time.

This study investigates the role of neuropeptides in ecdysis and reproduction in Rhodnius prolixus, showing ETH's critical role in development and reproductive success.

This study uses RNA-Seq to analyze the transcriptomic response of Triatoma infestans to deltamethrin, identifying differentially expressed genes and detoxification-related families.

The paper uses RNA-Seq to analyze neuromodulatory gene expression in the antennae of Rhodnius prolixus, identifying new genes and suggesting local regulation of sensory function.
