Elicitors of Plant Immunity Triggered by Beneficial Bacteria

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The molecular basis of plant immunity triggered by microbial pathogens is being well-characterized as a complex sequential process leading to the activation of defense responses at the infection site, but which may also be systemically expressed in all ...

Expression Analysis of Genes Related to Rice Resistance Against Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

Rice Science, 2017
Brown planthopper (BPH) is an insect species that feeds on the vascular system of rice plants. To examine the defence mechanism of rice plants against BPH, the pathogenesis-related genes (PR1a, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR6, PR9, PR10a, PR13, PR15 and PRpha ...

Low-Rate DoS Attacks, Detection, Defense, and Challenges: A Survey

IEEE Access, 2020
Low-rate Denial of service (LDoS) attacks has become one of the biggest threats to the Internet, cloud computing platforms, and big data centers. As an evolutionary species of DDoS attack, LDoS attack is essentially different from the DDoS attack.

Cyclic-di-AMP confers an invasive phenotype on Escherichia coli through elongation of flagellin filaments

Gut Pathogens
Background Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is isolated from patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). AIEC can invade the intestinal epithelium, suggesting that it is involved in the development and pathogenesis of CD. However, the mechanism by which

Psychosis as an Evolutionary Adaptive Mechanism to Changing Environments

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
Background: From an evolutionary perspective it is remarkable that psychotic disorders, mostly occurring during fertile age and decreasing fecundity, maintain in the human population.Aim: To argue the hypothesis that psychotic symptoms may not be viewed ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Inflammatory macrophage-derived plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 exacerbates inflammation through efferocytosis inhibition

Cell Death Discovery
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is significantly upregulated during inflammatory responses, and elevated PAI-1 levels are associated with poor prognosis in various diseases.
