In a recent study, researcher Anandasankar Ray at the University of California, Riverside, and his team employed machine ...

Mosquitoes use their sense of smell and taste to find and feed on humans, spreading diseases like dengue. These sensory ...

Researchers are using machine learning to develop next-generation mosquito repellents that could outmatch DEET and ...

After a cold winter, rising temps trigger the emergence of a perennial Lowcountry nuisances: the no-see-um or sand gnat.

Current skin-applied insect repellents, such as DEET, are effective but costly ... to current repellents,” said Ray, a professor of molecular, cell and systems biology.

Still, there is some defense against mosquito bites. When the team tested a synthetic mosquito repellent called DEET, they found that because it does not interact with the wasabi receptor to repel ...

These findings set the stage for the current studies, which provide the first molecular pictures of KBTBD4 targeting the CoREST complex through interactions induced by both cancer mutations and a ...
