Plants rely on a multilayered immune system in which cell-surface and intracellular receptors detect conserved microbial patterns and rapidly evolving virulence proteins known as effectors. Central to ...
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 ...
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 ...
In a recent study published in the journal Food Microbiology, researchers summarized the evidence on interactions of enteric bacterial pathogens with ready-to-eat (RTE) fruits and vegetables. Fruit ...
Explore how a biopreparedness map can strengthen special pathogens readiness, mass gathering planning, and frontline outbreak ...
Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in ...
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 ...
