The multifaceted role of ABA in disease resistance [PDF]
, 2009 Long known only for its role in abiotic stress tolerance, recent evidence shows that abscisic acid (ABA) also has a prominent role in biotic stress. Although it acts as a negative regulator of disease resistance, ABA can also promote plant defense and is

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Dietary fiber-driven shifts in mycobiota and short-chain fatty acid landscape in porcine hindgut
Animal MicrobiomeThis study employed a porcine model to investigate the dynamic effects of inulin (INU) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) on the profiles of intestinal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the composition of rectal fungal communities.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Fungicide resistance among Cladobotryum spp. – causal agents of cobweb disease of the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
, 2000 A survey of fungicide resistance among isolates of the mushroom pathogens Cladobotryum mycophilum and C. dendroides Types I and II was undertaken, with respect to the active ingredients thiabendazole, carbendazim (benzimidazoles) and prochloraz manganese

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

The economic burden of antimicrobial resistance: Why it is more serious than current studies suggest [PDF]
The development of resistance by organisms to antimicrobials is a natural phenomenon. Although it is increased by the use of antimicrobials, reduction in use of them will not necessarily reduce resistance, and there is a possibility that eventually most,
