Phenolic exudates from orchid seeds as nutrients chemically attract fungi

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Most orchid species require fungi for natural germination, but the molecular mechanism of this symbiosis is poorly understood. Cremastra appendiculata seeds secrete phenolic acids before fungal contact, acting as nutrient molecules to chemically attract its symbiotic fungus Coprinellus disseminatus.

Integrated Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing and Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals β‐Elemene's Immune and Metabolic Modulation in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
In a 4T1 TNBC model, β‐elemene suppressed tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis. scRNA‐seq showed it remodeled the tumor microenvironment by reducing cancer‐associated fibroblasts, enhancing antigen presentation, and inhibiting pro‐tumorigenic ECM remodeling. Metabolomics revealed prostaglandin downregulation.

CKLF‐like MARVEL transmembrane domain‐containing superfamily 8 (CMTM8) promotes Notch signalling to maintain CD8+ T cell‐ and NK cell‐dependent tumour immune escape

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5211-5229, September 2026.
Background and Purpose The CKLF‐like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing superfamily (CMTM) has an important role in tumour immunity. The role of CMTM8 in tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unknown. The aim was to investigate the relationship between CMTM8 and antitumour immunity. Experimental Approach Lentiviral system was established to

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1459-1476, August 2026.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...
