Two neuropeptides that promote blood feeding in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes

Prashali Bansal, Roshni Pillai, Pooja D Babu, Sonia Sen

The paper identifies two neuropeptides, sNPF and RYamide, that promote blood feeding in mated Anopheles stephensi females, with sNPF expression linked to blood-hunger states.

Chromatin priming and Hunchback recruitment integrate spatial and temporal cues in Drosophila neuroblasts

Ayanthi Bhattacharya, Hemalatha Rao, Sonia Sen

The paper investigates how spatial and temporal cues integrate in Drosophila neuroblasts to regulate terminal selector genes through chromatin priming and STF-Hb interactions.
