Important Research

 
 
 
 
COVID-19 vaccination induces cross-reactive dengue virus antibodies with altered isotype profiles and in vitro antibody-dependent enhancement
 
These findings highlight the importance of considering off-target immunity and ADE risk in future vaccine design.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
E. coli chemosensing accuracy is not limited by stochastic molecule arrivals
 
Our findings demonstrate that E. coli chemosensing is limited by internal noise in signal processing rather than molecule arrival noise, motivating investigations of the physical and biological constraints that shaped the evolution of this prototypical sensory system.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cryo-EM structure of the vaccinia virus entry fusion complex reveals a multicomponent fusion machinery
 
These results define the VACV EFC as a unique multiprotein fusion machinery and provide a structural framework for understanding the mechanism of poxvirus entry and membrane fusion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
How HSFA1 and Chromatin Dynamics Turn On Plants’ Heat Survival System?
 
Additionally, we demonstrated that, by using information from CREs, it is possible to predict gene expression at the transcriptional level across plant species and stress types.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Serial Spatial Transcriptomes Reveal Regulatory Transitions in Maize Leaf
 
Through integrated spatial–temporal analyses, we identified key regulatory genes associated with meristem maintenance, primordium initiation, vascular differentiation, and tissue heterogeneity.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Divergent routes to specialization: Guard cells, myrosin cells, and beyond
 
This review explores how plants generate new specialized cell types by reusing conserved transcription factors rather than inventing entirely new regulatory systems.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Bamboo mosaic virus-induced metabolic reprogramming engages mitochondrial  function to regulate redox homeostasis and defense responses in Nicotiana benthamiana
 
Our findings reveal a central role for NAD-ME1 in linking metabolic reprogramming to immune responses, highlighting how plants coordinate energy and redox pathways to deal with viral threats.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Streamlined Synthesis and Immunomodulatory Effects of Ulvan Oligosaccharides from Marine Green Algae
 
This chemical glycobiology approach offers valuable insights into the biomedical applications of marine ulvan oligosaccharides.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Carotenoid biosynthesis drives root plasticity through aerenchyma and iron plaque formation in rice
 
Our study decouples the mechanisms of iron plaque and aerenchyma formation, revealing that these two processes, previously assumed to be mechanistically linked, are regulated independently by distinct hormonal pathways.
