Lrba participates in the differentiation of IgA+ B lymphocytes through TGFβR signaling.

Introduction: Lrba is a cytoplasmic protein involved in vesicular trafficking. -deficient () mice exhibit substantially higher levels of IgA in both serum and feces than wild-type (WT) mice. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) and its receptors (TGFβR I and II) is essential for differentiating IgA+ B cells.

Development of the indirect flight muscles of Aedes aegypti, a main arbovirus vector.

Background: Flying is an essential function for mosquitoes, required for mating and, in the case of females, to get a blood meal and consequently function as a vector. Flight depends on the action of the indirect flight muscles (IFMs), which power the wings beat. No description of the development of IFMs in mosquitoes, including Aedes aegypti, is available.
