	1.	Research article *Excessive folate synthesis limits lifespan in the C. elegans: E. coli* aging model** Bhupinder Virk, Gonçalo Correia, David P Dixon, Inna Feyst, Jie Jia, Nikolin Oberleitner, Zoe Briggs, Emily Hodge, Robert Edwards, John Ward, David Gems, David Weinkove BMC Biology 2012, 10:67 (31 July 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| F1000 Biology \| Editor’s summary David Weinkove and colleagues report an accidental discovery in C. elegans that has led them to a series of studies implicating folate in excess of needs in limiting lifespan, with interesting hints from the effects of sulfonamide drugs that the same may apply to mammals.

Research Larvicidal effects of a neem (Azadirachta indica) oil formulation on the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae Fredros O Okumu, Bart GJ Knols, Ulrike Fillinger Malaria Journal 2007, 6:63 (22 May 2007) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Neem oil has good larvicidal properties for mosquitoes and suppresses successful adult emergence at very low concentrations. Considering the wide distribution and availability of this tree and its products along the East African coast, this may prove a readily available and cheap alternative to conventional larvicides.

This pilot study addresses some of the important issues of larviciding in an urban environment.
	11.	Protein family review Plant glutathione transferases David P Dixon, Adrian Lapthorn, Robert Edwards Genome Biology 2002, 3:reviews3004-reviews3004.10 (26 February 2002) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The soluble glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a large, conserved family of proteins that use the tripeptide glutathione as a cosubstrate or coenzyme. They are predominantly expressed in the cytosol and have a range of catalytic and non-catalytic functions, including detoxification of herbicides and protection from oxidative stress, and have been implicated in other cellular processes.
	12.
