Botrytis cinerea detoxifies the sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin rishitin through multiple metabolizing pathways

This study shows Botrytis cinerea detoxifies rishitin through multiple oxidative pathways, enabling tolerance and reducing toxicity to other pathogens.

Nuclear membrane protein Bqt4 maintains nuclear envelope integrity by recruiting phosphatidic acid

This study identifies Bqt4 as an inner nuclear membrane protein that recruits phosphatidic acid to maintain nuclear envelope integrity in fission yeast.

Screening for novel RyR2 inhibitors by ER Ca2+ monitoring

This study identifies three RyR2 inhibitors using an ER Ca2+ monitoring assay, showing they suppress arrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves without affecting normal Ca2+ transients.

A developmental program that regulates mammalian organ size offsets evolutionary distance

The paper identifies a conserved molecular program regulating organ size across species, showing higher homology in humans and pigs than in closely related mice.

Two structurally different oomycete lipophilic MAMPs induce distinctive plant immune responses.

This study identifies two structurally distinct oomycete MAMPs, ceramides and diacylglycerols, that induce different plant immune responses through unique molecular patterns.
