iScience, 2021 Summary: Defensive behaviors are evolved responses to threat stimuli, and a potential threat elicits risk assessment (RA) behavior. However, neural mechanisms underlying RA behavior are hardly understood.

Companion cells: a diamond in the rough [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016 Vascular plants have developed highly specialized cells to transport nutrients and developmental signals. The differentiation process includes the degradation of multiple organelles of the sieve element cells (SEs) to facilitate transport and, as a consequence, SEs become dependent on neighboring companion cells (CCs). Despite its importance for phloem

Vagrant Stem Cells Draft Their Gene Companions [PDF]
Cell Stem Cell, 2010 In a recent issue of Nature Medicine, Ryan et al. (2010) uncover genetic modifiers of G-CSF responses by hematopoietic progenitors. The authors document a negative role of EGFR signaling and, provided an analogous pathway functions in humans, propose a potential new angle to promote clinical blood stem cell mobilization.

Favipiravir Suppresses Zika Virus (ZIKV) through Activity as a Mutagen
Microorganisms, 2023 In a companion paper, we demonstrated that the nucleoside analogue favipiravir (FAV) suppressed Zika virus (ZIKV) replication in three human-derived cell lines—HeLa, SK-N-MC, and HUH-7.

The companions: regulatory T cells and gene therapy [PDF]
Immunology, 2009 SummaryUndesired immunological responses to products of therapeutic gene replacement have been obstacles to successful gene therapy. Understanding such responses of the host immune system to achieve immunological tolerance to a transferred gene product is therefore crucial.

Differential Distribution of Proteins Expressed in Companion Cells in the Sieve Element-Companion Cell Complex of Rice Plants [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2005 Sieve tubes are comprised of sieve elements, enucleated cells that are incapable of RNA and protein synthesis. The proteins in sieve elements are supplied from the neighboring companion cells through plasmodesmata. In rice plants, it was unclear whether or not all proteins produced in companion cells had the same distribution pattern in the sieve ...

Induction of sucrose synthase in the phloem of phytoplasma infected maize
Biologia Plantarum, 2011 In this study, we have analyzed the expression of the low oxygen inducible sucrose synthase isozyme SH1 (SUS-SH1) in the phloem of maize (Zea mays L.) infected with maize bushy stunt phytoplasma.
