Human blood microRNA hsa-miR-21-5p induces vitellogenin in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Perdomo et al. fed mosquitos (Aedes aegypti) a diet spiked with human blood miRNA, hsa-miR-21-5p and used proteomics analysis to show differential protein expression in female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes after feeding. They showed that hsa-miR-21-5p positively regulated vitellogenin, which plays a role i...
