New Yellow Fever Study Results from California State University San Marcos Described [Voltage-gated Ion Channels Are Expressed In the Malpighian Tubules and Anal Papillae of the Yellow Fever Mosquito (Aedes Aegypti), and May...].

A recent study conducted at California State University San Marcos has examined the expression of voltage-gated ion channels in the Malpighian tubules and anal papillae of the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti). The researchers found that multiple voltage-gated ion channels are expressed in these osmoregulatory epithelia and may play a role in the autonomous regulation of ion transport. The study provides valuable insights into the physiological mechanisms of the yellow fever mosquito and its ability to adapt to different salinity levels. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. [Extracted from the article]
