This study uses gene-edited hematopoietic stem cells to create long-lived B lymphocyte protein factories that produce therapeutic antibodies against HIV-1, malaria, and influenza.

This study shows that REL2/NF-κB signaling regulates midgut bacterial homeostasis in Anopheles gambiae, with loss of REL2 causing dysbiosis and reduced Plasmodium falciparum prevalence.

This study shows that somatic hypermutation increases cross-reactivity of anti-PfCSP antibodies by enhancing flexibility in antigen-bound complexes, but reduces serum stability.

This study compares two mosquito rearing methods for Anopheles stephensi to improve homogeneity and parasite receptiveness for malaria research.

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.

This study shows that mosquito lipid trafficking affects Plasmodium virulence by shaping sporozoite development and metabolic activity, revealing a vector-driven mechanism in malaria virulence evolution.
