The paper identifies SmDOC1/2 as regulators of the MAK2 pathway in Sordaria macrospora, showing non-redundant roles in sexual development through proximity mapping and genetic analysis.

This study identifies Usp3 and Usp1 as critical deubiquitinases in Verticillium dahliae that regulate developmental processes and pathogenicity by modulating ubiquitination and gene expression.

The paper investigates the evolution of osmotic stress response pathways in plants by studying zygnematophytes and their homologous ABA-independent kinase systems.

This paper identifies a fungal effector, UmPce3, that targets the chloroplast DEAD-box RNA helicase RH3 to manipulate chloroplast function, enhancing fungal pathogenesis while balancing plant stress responses.

Multi-omic profiling of unicellular Mesotaenium and filamentous Zygnema under osmotic and salt stress reveals a conserved protein and cell-wall remodeling chassis driving acclimation in land plants' closest algal relatives.

This study evaluates the efficacy of CD38 and CD20 IgG1/IgA2 antibodies in mediating myeloid cell-mediated killing of B-ALL, showing enhanced activity with CD47/SIRPα blockade.

The paper identifies the VelB intrinsically disordered domain's role in promoting selective heterodimer formation and regulating protein stability in fungal development.

This study shows that the miRNA pathway regulates obligatory aestivation in the cabbage stem flea beetle by controlling metabolism, catabolism, and resilience to high temperatures.

The paper identifies a pathogen-secreted protein that reprograms plant cells to enhance drought resilience by inducing tracheary element formation.

Biotic and heat stress strongly alter the lipidome and proteome of Arabidopsis leaves, including lipid droplet proteome composition.
