Pig Seminal Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Motility During Preservation of Epididymal Spermatozoa but Impair Capacitation and IVF Parameters

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by accessory sex glands play a key role in sperm functionality, influencing motility, viability, acrosome integrity, metabolic activity, and capacitation. Most studies on the effects of EVs on spermatozoa have focused on ejaculated spermatozoa, which have already been exposed to their own native

Inappropriate Expression of an NLP Effector in Colletotrichum orbiculare Impairs Infection on Cucurbitaceae Cultivars via Plant Recognition of the C-Terminal Region

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2018
The hemibiotrophic pathogen Colletotrichum orbiculare preferentially expresses a necrosis and ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)-like protein named NLP1 during the switch to necrotrophy.

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Ergosterol, an orphan fungal microbe‐associated molecular pattern ( MAMP ) [PDF]

Molecular Plant Pathology, 2014
Summary Fungal pathogens continue to pose a significant threat to crop production and food supply. The early stages of plant–fungus interactions are mostly mediated by microbe‐associated molecular pattern ( MAMP ) molecules, perceived by plant pattern recognition receptors (

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

XopR, a Type III Effector Secreted by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Suppresses Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern-Triggered Immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the causal agent of bacterial blight of rice. The XopR protein, secreted into plant cells through the type III secretion apparatus, is widely conserved in xanthomonads and is predicted to play important roles in bacterial

Human Milk–Derived Peptide MAMP‐1 Ameliorates Sepsis‐Associated Acute Lung Injury in Mice Through APOA4 and the TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling Pathway

Food Frontiers
Sepsis‐associated acute lung injury (SALI) significantly jeopardizes the health and survival prospects of neonates. Although breast milk has been identified to decrease the incidence and mortality rates associated with sepsis, the specific protective ...
