Metabolism of glucose and trehalose by cyclic pentose phosphate pathway is essential for effective immune response in Drosophila

Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form mitochondrion is capable of ATP production by substrate phoshorylation

This study shows that Trypanosoma brucei mitochondria can produce ATP via substrate phosphorylation, which is crucial under nutrient-limited conditions.

The bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei displays non-canonical gluconeogenesis

This study identifies a non-canonical gluconeogenesis pathway in Trypanosoma brucei by showing sustained metabolic flux despite gene knockouts, suggesting a unique enzyme is involved.

A mixture of innate cryoprotectants is key for freeze tolerance and cryopreservation of a drosophilid fly larva.

The paper identifies and quantifies cryoprotectants in a freeze-tolerant fly larva and shows their synergistic effects in cryopreservation.

Integrative assessment of the transcriptome and virome of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae.

This study constructs transcriptomes and identifies a novel virus in Dermanyssus gallinae to understand its biology and potential targets for control.
