Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

The specific contributions of factor H and factor I in controlling fluid phase activation of the alternative complement pathway

Scientific Reports
The immediate defense provided by the alternative complement pathway (AP) is under constant control by fluid phase regulators, factor H (FH) and factor I (FI), to prevent nonessential activation.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Implementation Punctuation: The Role of Feedback, Narratives, and Implementation in the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) and implementation research, this study proposes an extended conceptualization of policy punctuation that enables researchers to systematically include policy implementation as part of a punctuation. The key mechanisms underlying the PET, i.e., policy image and venue, information processing, and

The complement C3a/C3aR pathway is associated with treatment resistance to gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Gemcitabine is a standard first-line drug for pancreatic cancer chemotherapy. Nevertheless, gemcitabine resistance is common and significantly limits its therapeutic efficacy, impeding advancements in pancreatic cancer treatment. In this study, through a

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor
