The paper identifies a lipid desiccation barrier in Drosophila pupae and adults, showing its role in preventing dehydration during metamorphosis and its adaptation in different species.

This paper develops a holidic diet for Drosophila melanogaster called HoldFast, optimized for larval growth and development, and shows it outperforms existing diets.

This study shows that miR-276 regulates the mosquito reproductive cycle and impacts Plasmodium falciparum development by modulating amino acid metabolism.

The paper creates a microRNA tissue atlas in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, identifying miRNAs regulated during the transition between pre-vitellogenic and post-blood meal phases.
