The paper identifies Rp-vasa as a primordial germ cell marker in Rhodnius prolixus and demonstrates its utility for gene expression in transgenic approaches.

This paper demonstrates successful gene editing in Rhodnius prolixus using ReMOT Control and DIPA-CRISPR methods, achieving mutations in eye and cuticle color genes.

The paper investigates how signalling networks and tissue flows interact during vein refinement in Drosophila pupal wings, showing that cell fate adjustments, not large-scale flows, drive precise patterning.

This paper identifies pigmentation genes in Rhodnius prolixus that can serve as visible markers for genome editing and transgenesis to control Chagas disease vectors.

The paper develops a reaction-diffusion model to show Cactus/IκB has a dual role in regulating Dorsal/NFκB nuclear translocation in Drosophila embryos.

The paper improves the genome and transcriptome of Rhodnius prolixus by identifying over 2,000 novel genes and analyzing stage-specific gene expression during oogenesis.

This study investigates the function of the polycistronic gene tal/pri/mlpt in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus, revealing its conserved role in embryonic segmentation and development.

The paper shows that N-glycosylation of Sog in Drosophila affects BMP signaling by controlling extracellular Sog levels and distribution, adding complexity to BMP regulation.

The paper shows that Cactus promotes Toll signals in Drosophila embryos by modulating Dorsal nuclear localization, revealing differential behavior of the Dorsal gradient in response to Cactus concentrations.
