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 ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1305-1321, March 2026.ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:
