Tissue‐Resident Macrophage in Inflammation and Cancer

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Opposing macrophage functions in inflammation and cancer converge on shared mechanistic nodes, informing cross‐disease therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Tissue‐resident macrophages (TRMs) are long‐lived immune cells strategically distributed across organs, where their functional plasticity enables both homeostatic maintenance and pathological ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Development of a fluorescence-based excipient screening for improved stability and shelf-life of recombinant chitin deacetylase

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Chitin deacetylase (CDA) modifies chitin into chitosan by removing acetyl groups, but its inherent instability poses a challenge for successful crystallisation.

A Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Is Required for Membrane Localization but Dispensable for Cell Wall Association of Chitin Deacetylase 2 in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio, 2012
Cell wall proteins (CWPs) mediate important cellular processes in fungi, including adhesion, invasion, biofilm formation, and flocculation. The current model of fungal cell wall organization includes a major class of CWPs covalently bound to β-1,6-glucan

Chitin deacetylases Cod4 and Cod7 are involved in polar growth of Aspergillus fumigatus

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Chitin is one of the key components of fungal cell wall, and chitin deacetylases (CDAs) have been found in fungi; however, their functions remain unknown.

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

What Are the Functions of Chitin Deacetylases in Aspergillus fumigatus?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Deacetylation of chitin by chitin deacetylases (Cda) results in the formation of chitosan. Chitosan, a polymer of β1,4 linked glucosamine, plays multiple roles in the function of the fungal cell wall, including virulence and evasion of host immune ...
