This study investigates Orco's role in Ae. albopictus olfactory development and function, revealing its impact on OR expression and behavior.

This study shows that lipid droplets restrict phagosome formation in macrophages during Candida infection, protecting cells from death and offering a potential drug target.

This study reduces mosquito attraction to mice by engineering their skin microbiome to lower lactic acid production, offering longer protection than DEET.

This study investigates the electrophysiological response of the larval sensory cone in Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes to various odorants, revealing its ability to discriminate between chemical compounds.

This study characterizes the role of AcIr76b in Anopheles coluzzii, showing its impact on olfaction, blood feeding, and mating through functional and expression analyses.

This study mutates the ammonium transporter AcAmt in Anopheles coluzzii and finds it affects reproduction, eclosion, and ammonia sensing differently than in Drosophila.

This study shows that knocking out Orco in Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes impairs their olfactory function, reducing their attraction to human odors and affecting oviposition behavior.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to examine the roles of Gr22, Gr23, and Gr24 in CO2 sensing in Anopheles coluzzii, finding that Gr23 and Gr24 are essential while Gr22 modulates sensitivity.
