New research led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrates that molecules acting as "molecular bumpers" and "molecular glues" can rewire G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, ...

Although cold shock proteins help organisms from bacteria to humans adapt to cold stress and changing environments, researchers led by Ken Shirasu at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science ...

The ancient immune receptor SCORE was discovered in the pomelo fruit, but over 60 orthologs were subsequently found in other plant orders and families. Synthetic SCOREs engineered with subtle ...

Scientists from the Riken Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have identified an ancient protein that, with modifications, could confer broad-spectrum protection for plants against ...

Farmworkers sit on the back of a tractor as they plant tomato plants in Stockton on June 3, 2025. A recent UC Davis study suggests gene editing may strengthen tomatoes’ immune response against disease ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence to upgrade plant immune systems, potentially revolutionizing how crops like tomatoes and potatoes can defend against harmful bacteria. By reengineering ...

AlphaFold has been used to predict how targeted immune receptor engineering could lead to increased disease resistance in plants. Scientists at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Plant disease resistance involves both detection of microbial molecular patterns by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors and detection of pathogen effectors by intracellular NLR immune receptors ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. This is a very elegant and convincing study. Using systematic ...

For years scientists have puzzled over why the intracellular pathogen Salmonella is able to survive — and thrive — in human and animal tissues, even within otherwise hostile cells that are part of the ...
