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 ...

Researchers led by Ken Shirasu at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have identified an ancient protein that has the potential to help defend plants against tens of ...

Dendritic cell receptors, in particular C‐type lectins such as DC-SIGN, play a pivotal role in the immune response by recognising and internalising diverse glycan structures present on pathogens. The ...

The crystal structure of the complex reveals an extensive interface between Pwl2 and OsHIPP43 (figure. 1). By modifying a plant intracellular immune receptor (NLR), researchers have developed a ...

Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...

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 ...

Previous work by a team of researchers led by Steven N. Fiering, PhD, Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy researcher at Dartmouth's and Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center and Nicole ...

A new study has identified potential broad-spectrum antiviral agents that can target multiple families of RNA viruses that continue to pose a significant threat for future pandemics. A new study has ...

A study published in Immunity by physician-scientist Read Pukkila-Worley, MD, and MD/Ph.D. students Nicholas D. Peterson and Samantha Y. Tse describes a new manner of detecting microbial infection ...
