This study identifies the TOR complex 1 as a key regulator of shade-mediated hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis, showing its role in auxin-dependent growth responses and epidermal cell elongation.

This study investigates TOR signalling in Physcomitrella, showing it positively controls growth, development, chloroplast function, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression.

This paper produces prolyl-hydroxylated human type III collagen in moss bioreactors, achieving 1 mg/L in 11 days with no need for heterologous P4H expression.

This study shows that ERAD machinery regulates PILS protein turnover in plants under non-stressed conditions, linking ER protein homeostasis to growth regulation.

This paper produces and purifies human papillomavirus type 16 virus-like particles in Physcomitrella photobioreactors, achieving high yields and successful assembly.

This study successfully produces recombinant spider silk protein containing both N- and C-terminal domains in moss photobioreactors.

This study investigates the differential GTP-dependent polymerization of Physcomitrella FtsZ isoforms in vitro and their synergistic interactions.

The paper analyzes the N-terminome of Physcomitrella to reveal N-terminal methylation of mitochondrial proteins and identifies a methyltransferase involved in plastid, mitochondrial, and cytosolic methylation.

This study identifies six prolyl-4 hydroxylases in mosses and characterizes their substrate specificity, structural features, and functional roles in proline hydroxylation and O-glycosylation.
