This paper develops an efficient transgenesis system in the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus using nuclear targeting and piggyBac, enabling genetic manipulations and expanding its use as a model organism.

The paper maps the Drosophila secretome to identify tissue-specific origins and inter-organ trafficking of 535 blood plasma proteins.

This paper provides standardized laboratory protocols for maintaining Carausius morosus, including husbandry, egg care, and colony sustainability.

The paper identifies Attractin as the receptor for Nigritoxin, a Vibrio toxin, and shows that related toxins use this receptor but have distinct effector domains.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which oxygen-sensing neurons in Drosophila larvae promote blood cell transdifferentiation through the activity of the guanylyl cyclase Gyc88E.
