    Two neuropeptides that promote blood feeding in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes

    Prashali Bansal, Roshni Pillai ... Sonia Q Sen
    Neuropeptides sNPF and RYamide promote blood feeding in Anopheles stephensi, a major malarial vector in the Indian subcontinent and West Africa.
    1. Cell Biology

    Cell surface localisation of GPI-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei

    Sourav Banerjee, Nicola Minshall ... Mark Carrington
    The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei are not confined to the flagellar pocket but instead localise across the whole cell surface, reshaping our understanding of host immune evasion and nutrient uptake.

    2. Developmental Biology

    Lineage priming and cell type proportioning depends on the interplay between stochastic and deterministic factors

    William Salvidge, Chris Brimson ... Chris Thompson
    Experiments and mathematical modelling show cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum partly depends on cell-cycle phase, but also on stochastic gene-expression variability which enhances robustness of developmental responses to cell-cycle perturbation.
    1. Ecology

    Full factorial construction of synthetic microbial communities

    Juan Diaz-Colunga, Pablo Catalan ... Alvaro Sanchez
    A rapid, inexpensive, and easy to implement experimental protocol enables the construction of combinatorially complete sets of microbial consortia.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    Single-domain antibody inhibitors target the coiled coil arms of the Bacillus subtilis SMC complex

    Ophélie J Gosselin, Michael Taschner ... Stephan Gruber
    A screen using in vitro-selected synthetic nanobodies identified inhibitors of SMC protein function in bacterial cells, revealing a coiled coil region as a vital component of the chromosome-folding machinery.
